I want to be a State farm agent in Toronto Canada can anyone tell me what to expect, the bad, the ugly, the $

Answer 1

Try working for one of the big banks instead.  Then when you have enough experience, go independent.

Working as a Agent, you are tied to one company only.  As a Broker, you have access to a wide range of companies so you can better serve your clients.  The banks (ie: RBC DS, CIBC Woodgundy) provide a good place to start and provide good training.  But they do have quotes as well.  Other places at Investors Group or Edward Jones are also a good place to start as well.

But like I said, your end goal should be Independent after receiving good solid training which will give you the ability to deal with clients from all income levels without the quotas/sales pressure.

Answer 2

Money is great, after you work hard and build up your business.  It is a great company with lots of support.

The ugly, like most companies they now require quotas or certain numbers to stay with them.
