Pros

Great training for licenses. Unlimited comp. Being your own boss is great, but only when you are making enough money to keep the roof over your head. Friendly people.

Cons

Stats will show that unless you get a good size book through either a goodknight program or inherit an existing office with at least 10+m your chances of serviving the first few years are less than 10%. And if you are one of the 10% that do make it from being a new new, it means you had a lot of cash saved up to hold yourself over til you started to make some money. and by alot of cash I mean at least 50K.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
