      I have been working at Bankers Life full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      No one determines how much I'm worth or how much my time it worth. I earn what I put into the career. By far the most rewarding career I've ever been in and it keep getting better every year. The bonuses during the 1st year of the career are great while one get momentum, and the fact that bonuses are ongoing all year long, makes it even a better incentive to work hard.

      Cons

      Not sure if this is a "con". The fact that we are in commission only instead of salary or hourly pay makes it possible for us to get paid our full commissions! I've seen hourly wages in other companies, and it's a shame someone made $100 a day in hourly wages when they could have made hundreds more with the same effort and production if they were in commissions. If anyone is looking for a job where you can just milk the clock and get paid, this is not it. But if you're looking for a vocation or career that pays you what you're worth? This is it.

      Pros

      If you follow the process and don't try to recreate the wheel, you will be successful with a little hard work. Bankers does an amazing job with their training and growth opportunities within the company...whether you want to be an career agent, go into management, or become a financial advisor - the route is your choice. Wouldn't it be nice to know you could earn upwards of 50k a year just for waking up in the morning? Co-workers are great and we are always there to help another agent. We are always learning and growing. Put in the time and things get easier.

      Cons

      Starting your own business doesn't happen overnight, that said, neither does being a successful agent at Bankers. You need to set goals and have a purpose - the work is tough in the beginning, anyone successful in the financial industry will tell you that, but the rewards are well worth it.

      I have been working at Bankers Life full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      This company is a fantastic company for the people who put in the time and effort. This isn’t a place for someone who isn’t 100% in, there is no middle ground. It’s 100%, or 0%. I started my first year and for 3 quarters made very little money, and mostly because it’s like getting a degree at the same time you’re working full/overtime. Now, after 16 months I’m a top producer in my branch, and I’m clearing 60k this quarter.

      Cons

      It’s not for someone who’s looking for a 9-5 job. If you have that mindset coming in, you’ve already failed.

      Pros

      You have help from the very beginning throughout the entire process. There is absolutely no reason for you to think you have to figure it all out by yourself. Training starts from the word "go" and is a constant. Management keeps the agents up to date on the changes within the company and products. Come in prepared to raise your hand with questions and not for a handout.

      Cons

      Applicants don't always understand the time needed to start a new career. This isn't a position to clock in and out. You set your own hours and you will work harder than those who use the clock to track their hours.

      No cap on what you can earn. At one point I had 9 different sources of income.

      Cons

      I work a lot. But I want to earn more than most so it’s a trade off to me.
