Pros
*This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet in the industry. You will learn a lot about life insurance. *If you are a lucky enough to get a good senior agent to take you under their wing, then you can also learn a lot about financial planning. *The validation points are low compared to other firms that interviewed me. *Pay scale can get high
Cons
*The organization as a whole is slow to invest the necessary resources needed to be competitive. *On a more disturbing note, under the current local leadership, the office has made a spiraling descent. By coming to work here you will be pushed into handing 25% of cases that you sourced over to management's family member under the pretense that they "do the paperwork." If you refuse to accept these terms, management will remove any and all support from you. Management will even "highly recommend" that you give them a portion of the cases you source. The "local management" is also a liar who will maneuver under the guise that you will never find out about their dubious deeds. When you bring your awareness to their attention they will resort back to lying. *Current management and management prospects are underqualified and only hold their rank for their ability to feed said "local managements" narcissistic ego. Questions to ask your potential district manager would be how long have they been in the business and how they were able to build their clients from scratch.
