Pros
- Good training with industry professionals - Will teach you how to sell - You'll become confident selling to all ages and backgrounds - Understanding of people's financial situations - Lots of support from your agent. After all, you're making him money
Cons
- There is no promotion, nowhere to be promoted to - It's up to the agent how they want to pay you. They could be generous with a salary, or commission based. - TONS of down time some days and others you'll just be cold calling all day. - Management at levels higher than agents tend to think of you as useless and don't understand why the agent couldn't do your job. - Management higher than agent level also doesn't care a bit about the relationship or being a "good neighbor" they only want numbers to go up.
