"Strict FINRA regulations, old way of thinking, not really open to new marketing ideas, lack of marketing support, 100% commission, strict underwriting guidelines."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Instead of wasting time and money on recruiting, to spend that money on helping the agents that are already there grow their practice through marketing support. Also since it takes 5 years to develop a successful practice, offering a base would help, especially since we lose many clients to underwriting declining our cases. We work a lot of hours from the point of finding a prospect to actually closing a sale, and when we lose that account due to underwriting, all those hours were worked for free. I would ask management if they would work for free."

The office was very congenial, and despite the fact that reps were competing with each other to an extent, they were very helpful and forthcoming with information. Above all, I knew that the company I was representing was the most financially sound in the industry.
