At first I was disappointed with the approval process you have to go through with most CPA networks, but I've come to accept it as part of the deal. I've got my phone interview shmoozing down to an art now. It's a good opportunity to drop questions of your own regarding the network, and to show the network that you aren't completely braindead too. They like to know that they aren't just letting anyone in.
