Pros

Very good and stable company. Great support from our head office when requesting information to help a case along.

Cons

Strictly based on a commission structure. Very hard to understand that pay schedule and is incredibly difficult to climb it. If you do not have a stable base to start off with in terms of family and friends you can sell insurance to, it can prove to be very challenging.
