Pros

Lots of good hearted people

Cons

Constantly being fed lies about how our commissions beat out the commissions of the traditional insurance and investment industry. Made to believe that the 'exclusive' products that we as WFG agents had to offer were superior to what the traditional industry had in their bag of tools. Both of these teachings are complete garbage, and if you decide to look past the walls of WFG for yourself, you are quickly rejected, and TERMINATED This is unfortunately the norm for anyone who decides to leave. You cannot quit, they will always terminate an agent, so that you have no ability to sell your agent code, which is basically the book of business that you may have spent years building. Your clients BELONG to WFG. ASK anyone who has left and you will hear the same story over and over and over.

Pros

Strong Support & Mentorship The leadership typically provides mentors and upline sponsors who guide agents as they start. This mentorship can help with goal setting, sales strategies, and accountability. . Flexible Schedule As an agent, I had the freedom to build my business on my own terms. If you value flexibility and being your own boss, WFG supports that.

Cons

Commission-Based Compensation Compensation is heavily commission-based with no steady base pay, especially early on. This can make income unpredictable, particularly in the first 6–12 months. High Learning Curve While training exists, a lot of success depends on self-study, persistence, and trial/error in the field. Some find this challenging without strong prior sales experience.
