Pros

Great Products, technology, and planning tools. LBS is unmatched in the industry really. Planning philosophy is tough to argue against. Excellent learning opportunities. Unlimited earning potential.

Cons

Poverty for the first 4-5 years. If you don't sell, then you don't eat. Don't get talked into the draw being a salary, it's 100% commission, the whole time. Starting a business from the ground up. Complete reliance on others (those whom you sell to) for compensation.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
