All true, only 6 to 9 month of a training and even first 90 days salary pay for all employees in your new agency, with startup bonuses!

When an agent hires employees, they pay them the salary out of their own budgets... This is similar to someone that owns a McDonalds franchise. You get paid by the franchise owner, not the corporate office.

You were solicited by an interning agent of State Farm. While they are in training, interns directly work for the company, but once they have the proper accreditations and licenses they become independent contractors working on behalf of the company. Insurance agents, contrary to popular belief, do not actually *work for* the company whose products they sell. They are independent business-men and -women. If this agent got tired of selling State Farm's product, she could just as soon turn around and sell Allstate's product once her contract was up. The ad says it pretty clearly TWICE: "State Farm agents are entrepreneurs that market and solicit only State Farm insurance and financial service products...If you answered yes to these questions, working for a future State Farm independent contractor agent may be the career for you!" She cannot ethically or legally present herself as an employee of State Farm, and she didn't, and you even seem to have picked up on this context clue. Were she to hire you, you would not be an employee of State Farm-- you would be an employee of an independent businessperson who sells insurance products *on behalf of* State Farm. You said you looked her up, but I have no idea what you found/did not find at that time. Her signature clearly identifies her as an agency intern, the job title clearly states that the position is "Employee of a FUTURE AGENT," and the end of the job posting suggests that she was in the process of starting a new agency. I really doubt she had complaints on ripoffreport before she even opened her doors. As for the salary, since neither of you would actually be working *for* State Farm, State Farm would not be paying either of your paychecks. The agent would indeed be paying you personally, since you'd be working directly for her, which she clearly stated during the phone call, email and job posting. I realize there are a lot of job postings out there that are BS, but don't be so quick to call out an individual person BY NAME and tarnish their reputation by slandering them on the internet when you don't understand the whole picture.
