Pros
A place to get some basic insurance experience. Try out the industry to see if you like it or not. An opportunity to sell yourself on a Management position as that is where the real money is.
Cons
I was an Agent for Country for 14 years. If I had collected a business card for every Agent that came and went I could wallpaper my house. This company is run by old, stodgy mid westerners. They bring you in, sell you on "the dream" and then set benchmarks and expectations that are unattainable. You get fired and they keep all of your clients. I am an Independent Agent now. Sure it is hard starting over but 1)I will NEVER lose my job 2)be told what to sell and how much of it to sell 3)Be lied to. My first few years were fun, thank you for the good times but I should have taken my experience and left MUCH EARLIER.
