Pros

Is a commission only sales position so you do enjoy the benefits associated with a position like this. --Make your own schedule --Little involvement from Management --If you sell, your income potential is unlimited

Cons

The entire industry tries to disguise the true nature of the position. You are there for one reason, that reason is to sell life insurance policies. Yet, that's never said in any of your interviews, you are told you are there to "help" clients, you are able to sell many products, and so on. While there is some true to those things. Your primary and secondary responsibility is to sell life insurance policies. If you sell, your experience will be awesome. If you do not, not so much.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

Some of the benefits are great.

Cons

There appears to be a significant issue with favoritism and conflicts of interest within certain areas of the organization. In some cases, close personal relationships between managers and employees seem to influence opportunities, recognition, and how people are treated. This creates a perception that being part of an inner circle is valued more than performance, accountability, and doing quality work. Employees who are not part of these groups can feel excluded, overlooked, or treated differently. There are also concerns about inconsistent standards, where certain individuals appear to have more flexibility or latitude than others.
