Pros

SLD Solutions is good at creating a family-like environment where individuals can work collegially, as a family. In that regard, SLD is solid.

Cons

But SLD Solutions is rarely solid. The biggest complaint I have against SLD is that, during your interview, you are never told (at least I never heard it, and I did sit in on eight interviews) how much you'll really need to spend to be with the company. They will charge for training and for training material, and these costs add up quickly. New recruits are offered an opportunity to attend a national sales meeting, but you, the employee/recruit, must pay for the trip. It's easy to get "nickel and dimed" at SLD. Plus, you have to purchase a product in order to get into personal production, and you are not able to sell it to yourself. You'll also need to pay a monthly "platform" fee if you go into production. None of this was disclosed in any interviews I witnessed. If you attend an interview, please ask this question: "tell me everything I'll need to pay for and how much will it equal?" Other complaints: clubby, cultish atmosphere; a seemingly benign husband and wife ownership that pervades all aspects of the company. Oh, and ask about their "lead" programs: how they are obtained, their conversion rates, etc.

Pros

SLD has a great culture and value system. The CEOs and leadership team are very supportive and caring of both clients and members of the team. Personal and professional integrity is build into the culture of the company and training is second to none.

Cons

No downside experienced since being there.

Pros

Nothing to mention at this time

Cons

Too much RA RA, not enough substance. Felt like I was at Amway or Prepaid legal meeting, same people always talking at every meeting, saying the same thing each time. Always talking about recruiting and trainer seem to not have clue on how to manage a team. No real training structure. I never heard them promote anyone of the agent's successes or closing business since I started at the start 2025.
