Pros
Working for myself not by myself. After the corporation I worked in for 22 years declared bankruptcy, I decided to work for myself. My first action was to find health coverage and that lead to my next career. There are a lot of self-employed options, there is only one self-employed option people buy whether the economy is good or bad, health insurance. There is only one self-employed option that everyone agrees that they need professional advice to make sure they don't miss anything important and can take full advantage of the ever changing options.
Cons
The national advertising, non-cost leads, hundreds of coverage options, state of the art technology, marketing dollars provided and industry leading training make it very hard for any other agent organization to compete with us.
