Vantaggi
I made a lot of money the first couple of years. I worked very hard and I definitely was a great agent for them. I made the Power Producers List for 3 years running. Then they decided that all agents should have their securities licenses. It took me a while to get it, (very difficult while still trying to sell). I got my license (only the 3rd one in the office to have it, out of 7 agents) and they started breathing down my neck to produce. I was supposed to be flipped to a career agent, but they flipped a male agent who didn't meet the criteria!!
Svantaggi
The "managers" make more than $300,000 which doesn't include the commissions they make off the backs of the agents. Definitely a "good old boys" club and they are very narrow minded about their managers, who quite often have never been an agent. After they bought MSI back in 2003-2004, their rates went through the roof. And get rid of the FARM BUREAU!!! For God Sake, NO ONE wants to pay $20.00 to the Farm Bureau!!!
