Companies

Hi, my name is Brooke and I am looking into getting my insurance license. In fact, I'm going to be enrolling in them probably tonight. I have a few questions.
1) I have had many offers from separate companies and I need help seeing which ones are good and which are bad. I have narrowed it down to two.
--Waddell & Reed
--NAA
2) Secondly, which is better to start with? I plan on getting both licenses eventually but to start off as a beginner which is better: Life & Health, or Property & Casualty?
3) Lastly, should I go on with one of the above companies (or other independent contractor type companies) or should I do the whole "captive agent" thing to start off with?

Thanks so much in advance,
Brooke

Waddell and Reed hands down over NAA although the are more investments.

Have you worked with Waddell & Reed??

NAA is bad news. Just search this forum for plenty of details.

L&H and P&C are worlds apart. Personally I would start L&H if doing it all over. Also...not to be a downer, but personally I would pick another program than either of the 2 listed (that's just me).

No although I talked to them once.

Neither Waddell and Reed of NAA have anything to do with P&C.

Have you considered AGLA, Combined, Transamerica, Western Southern, or Metlife. They are all places you look at.

I know I was just saying that of those 2 personally I'd go elsewhere for Life and annuity dealings. If OP wants to go P&C then first licensed is a producer for an agent or captive play all the way. Waddell is better of the 2 but they are really different markets, as stated.
