Avantages
great work life balance.. can work from home and determine the hours/ time you want to sit down with clients. You can take time off when you need it, no questions. There is a very laid back office enviornment.( business casual/ casual) Lots of continuning training, and opportunities to learn more about insurance.
Inconvénients
some managers are really touch and go.. kinda of figure it out yourself, which can be stressful when you have no background in Insurance. Because it is a contracted/ 1099 position you have to put your own money in to start, if you don't have the money to put in, i.e ( networking meetings, lead money, marketing money) it will be hard to see any financial return for months. There are no benefits that come with the job, so you will have to purchase your own insurance, dental and vision, and set up your own retirement accounts/plans. There is also a high level of turn-over do to the lack of benefits, and financial incentive.
