Pros

Conservative Midwest Company with potential. Going through a lot of restructuring and change that might create opportunities for career advancement or change.

Cons

Lack of direction, lack of leadership, lack of loyalty, bottom line is all that really matters. Cuts in pay, bonuses and incentives are common.

Pros

The group benefits department is great to work with and will bend over back words to help advisors obtain this business.

Cons

This company's only interest is life/disability insurance, period. Anything beyond that they do little to support or encourage. Unless you plan on an office in one of the business centers, you won't make it on your own with the proposed payout grids. They will take 55% of every dollar you make.
