Pros

You have the ability to set your own schedule which can be a blessing and a curse. There is also the ability to make as much as you want.

Cons

Although you can make as much as you want, you will have to sell primarily life insurance or annuities or you will not make enough money. They give you the idea that you will be able to use any product, but after a certain time period you will have to sell proprietary products to be eligible for benefits. They also charge you a lot to work here, and offer 0 base pay.

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.
