Pros

If you're going to be an advisor start here. They know what they're doing.

Cons

Make sure your advisor isn't a snake. Be a broker for a year not 3 months. They will rush you, they get paid on new agents. Better to make 50% commission (on a $40k salary) as a broker. Then turn on the 80% contract in a year and make 80% commissions at a much higher salary (assuming you're successful). If not you keep your residual income!

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
