Pros

If you don't have a degree, then it is a place where you can earn a good yearly income. If you plan to open your own agency this is a great opportunity.

Cons

Since you deal with the majority of the community out there, you will realize that the majority of consumers are not educated in this industry and can be sometimes frustrating to work with. If you do not like to dealing with stupid people i.e. some consumers, this job will not be for you.

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
