Pros

Good starting pay, freedom to make your daily schedule, customer relationships, great people to work with if you get a good branch.

Cons

Low comissions, unrealistic goals such as growing actives +3 and web actives +2 EVERY MONTH, also want 2 new accounts EVERY MONTH. Frustrating to be griped out for not meeting those goals when everyone knows its not possible to do that every single month.
