Well few hobbies pay well nor is it really my point. I had hoped to possibly shy some people away from another unethical company. And considering the "valuable" time they have wasted of the many come and go agents who were promised far more than delivered I don't feel too bad.

You say you wish you could "find a really decent company." They're out there. But wishing won't find one. Neither will this time wasting exercise. On the bright side, if more agents practiced your hobby it would be good for those agents who don't, so knock yourself out.
Not sure why the personal attack sir, but to each their own. I personally like to get a first hand experience with companies out there so I can at least give my opinion to friends that may be seeking a new job or seeking possible coverage. If your a fan of this company which is really more to the point of this thread than my antics. that's cool. in fact I'd love to hear some backing for them because there isn't much out there. In my experience there is a trend for mass "hiring" agencies that focus on senior market to prey on both naive workers as well as naive clients. I'm glad to hear there are good ones out there. I'd love to hear some you would recommend as it seems your pretty well versed in the industry and take a strong stance.

I'm sure your friends appreciate the time you spend helping them in this way. I was simply making the point that your hobby doesn't help reach your goal of finding a decent company. I've never heard of this group but the day I determined they were what you described would have been my last contact with them.
You asked about my recommendation. I only have one to anyone: find a good agency and learn the business. Go independent as soon as you have learned the business. Not the only path, of course, just what worked for me. All this dragged out screwing with bad agencies seems to me an unproductive distraction. Some might view that as good advice. Others may view it as an attack. As you say, to each their own.
Sounds fair and if I ever choose to make insurance my full time gig i'd certainly go independent. Personally its the advising and helping people find the appropriate plans that I enjoy, not the making of a sale...which means I don't think I'd eat too well if I relied solely on being an independent agent.

Almost without exception, the type of recruitment that you replied to (Buffet) is a waste of time. To truly find a good outfit (FMO) to go with, look for those who exert the least "control" over your business. Some FMO'S are sneaky too, so ask around. Read the many agent's posts in the search function as to their various experiences. It will really help.

Evidently not, at least according to them. According to the comments there, if you have any questions whatsoever about the opportunity other than "Where do I sign up," keep walking. Coffee is for closers:
