Pros
This company has provided me with training and support which I have learned is not common in this industry. There are always opportunities for conference, webinars, and onsite enrichment experiences. They also have a team of mentors who are available to help guide all of the agents. Resources such as a file database and marketing resources are very helpful. I have found that the agents strive to help one another so if ever I need someone to cover for me while I travel with my family or have to ask a question or advice about something, the other agents are readily available and willing to help. This makes it feel like a close knit team rather than agents spread out across the country. This company offers a generous commission split, much better than other agencies I had looked into prior to applying. All in all, these are good people who still care about their clients and not just making a buck.
Cons
There are a large number of agents so you have to be willing to put yourself out there to connect with others. They do not provide leads although this is fairly standard in this business. Agents pay their own expenses for conferences and trainings, although they do keep the prices as low as possible.
