Pros

-Very professional office. -I'm sure it's an amazing opportunity for some.

Cons

-Not a place to be if you're an adult with responsibilities and obligations. -You will be unpaid for the months you spend getting licenses being expected to spend 7-8 hours per day reviewing the material with no pay and no days off. -They make you pay for your onboarding exams and materials and didn't reimburse me for these expenses despite promising to. -Said originally that I'd get a small salary and 50% commission when starting out, but that's only after you sell a certain amount of insurance first with no salary or safety net. -After getting my licenses, I had to spend a full week doing online training for which I got paid the equivalent of less than minimum wage. -Managers suck, especially this one guy with slick back hair and glasses whose name I won't mention. Real slimeball. Seems to fancy himself a some wall street big shot, but he's just pretentious. -Huge emphasis on sales, particularly on manipulation and high pressure sales.

Global exposure: Opportunity to work with international teams and align with global standards. Professional working environment: Emphasis on compliance, ethics, and accountability.

Slow decision-making: Multiple approval layers can delay execution and innovation. Limited flexibility in processes: Strong governance may feel restrictive for employees who prefer autonomy. Compensation growth can be gradual: Salary increases and promotions may be slower compared to startups or tech firms.
