      Pros

      Can make money, but at the expense of your friends and family

      Cons

      MLM Pyramid scheme. You're only making money off your downline, just like Mary Kay and all these other pyramid companies. Only difference here it you're hawking life insurance (whole life policies that take a ton of management fees - way worse than a general mutual fund). You have to hit your family and friends for sales, I left very quickly once I realized nobody actually understands the product they are hawking, and they don't provide any leads at all. Go after your family and friends, hope you get more after that, abuse everyone for money. The company will burn you when policies go belly up. I'm honestly not even sure half of some Agents do is legal. It's shady at the VERY least.

      I have been working at World Financial Group part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Financial Education for the masses. Bank profits at all-time highs while debt burdens on the backs of everyday people are staggering. A common goal, a mission to help struggling families. Positive environment, great leaders, great product providers from big banks, investment companies, and insurance companies. Separation of people from the hard workers to the complainers.

      Cons

      It's a different opportunity and different is scary for everyone. People need to change themselves and to shift their mindset. Personal change is hard and difficult, and so many fail then complain.
