Pros

Cooperative working atmosphere, genuine people in management, access to a wide variety of insurance and investment products, nice office facilities, excellent support services at the home office.

Cons

Sparse transitional salary for new reps, your production is purely based on your own prospecting ability, your managing director is also a producer and is in competition with you. Also, software, computer, admin staff, are too expensive for new reps. Unless you have three years of capital put away in the bank, it is tough to survive.
