Pros

Great company to work for, it almost sells itself in conversation because people recognize the brand.

Cons

If you're just starting you really need to grind to make money. You can pretty much expect to not make money selling insurance unless you get good at selling life policies. That will help your earning potential substantially as it helps your auto and home sales go up. That's to say that you get 2%-4%-6%-8% of auto/home once you sell a certain amount of life policies.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
