Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
