Pros
Makes you go out of your comfort zone. Get to be around good people in the office. Large payouts if can sell a type of product as a contracted insurance agent (1 company to sell from).
Cons
Too many. Driving for a minimum of 28 hours a week, getting paid only on commissions, working 60 hour weeks, making hundreds of phone calls with 70% of them being bad numbers, low educational training sessions, and influencing others unfairly. If you wish to become fond of MANIPULATING, this is the job. Why would someone be interested in someone who is one, not a financial advisor, and two, only selling insurance products from one company? Clients want options and an educated decision making process. Not manipulated by a Bankers contracted agent, solely selling Bankers products, with some of the highest prices in the industry. All this leads to buyers remorse and not truly helping people with what is best. Hard to sleep at night for everyone.
