Pros

Well recognized for training within the industry Excellent financial strength ratings Freedom to structure your own work day Freedom to build your own book in any way you can

Cons

Lack of experienced agents dedicated to training newbies in the field Less brand recognition among the general population Unpaid training period can leave you hungry for months Very little to no sincere focus on comprehensive financial planning (heavy emphasis on selling insurance) Overemphasis on selling to family and friends as opposed to developing a sustainable prospecting method to be used daily

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
