Pros

Could have been a good career, if the actuality was anything close to the promises made. The group E&O is not very expensive to maintain, but not the place to park your license or be part-time.

Cons

Dishonest about: Compensation, flat out lied about renewal %. Expenses you are expected to bear, Uncompensated travel, Job description vs actuality, Amount of work that would be assigned, Make your own accounts or no work. Home office tech challenges, very uncommunicative and non-transparent. Non-vesting in commissions until 2.5 to 5 years, Termination will leave you contractually obligated to pay back commissions and you will lose your earned commissions.

Pros

Can be a great source of income if you’re on the favorites list.

Cons

It’s a good old boys club. Only the favorites get access to ideal locations. Expected to travel at own expense to meetings far from home. 1099 job and all expenses are reimbursed. Lies about commission percentages and residuals percentages. Stay away.

Pros

If you have a good manager they help

Cons

The expectation that you will be working all day then do hours of homework after, Driving long distance spending money on lunches for your enrollment and buying prizes on the average I spent $180-$200 a week for enrollment most times only making 600 dollars not worth it. The only time you make good money is in a good enrollment. The highest payout is life insurance at 38% but you only get 65% of that up front ex: you sell a policy that cost $1200 a year you only will make $296 dollars most weeks I was only writing 4200 in policy making roughly 1037 on that take out your expenses of 180 you made 857 dollars don’t forget to save money for taxes not worth it and if you are not a top producer management will pull you out of enrollment now you make no money and they want you to go new group( cold calling)
