Pros

None. You are an employee for some top producer's agency, and their only goal is to meet their partner sales goal so they can maintain their income stream. You are just a number expected to buy-in to the company's propaganda and make other people money under the guise of "protecting families." LMAO The only families you're protecting are the salespeople's.

Cons

Where to begin? Terrible, impersonable training for a job that protects your trainer's family, not your client's family, despite their best protestations otherwise. Worst of all, Globe Life AIL products are ridiculously overpriced.

Pros

I would say pretty much none. Do not even consider working for this branch in New Albany IN.

Cons

They make you pay out of pocket for training materials. But tell you the training is paid up to twn days. And that you need to complete the study materials twenty five percent a day ( it's hundred plus of pages of reading, about twenty videos and a bunch of tests that you have to get a minimum score on. But they don't explain that on the front end. Then they have someone reach out a to tell you to skip the reading and just watch the videos and take the tests. Then you think your done but no then you have to do multiple exam simulators of one hundred to two hundred questions each that you have to score a ninety or above on. And in the meantime they have your helper calling and messaging you about why you're not moving fast enough. So then before spending more money and scheduling my exam I ask a few questions to try and get some clarification on the process and find out where the compensation they told me about is coming in at. I end up talking to the manager that hired me and am told that the hours are now totally different than what I was told in the interview, and the whole thing about the schedule being flexible was untrue. I told them I couldn't work ten to six that I would need to be off closer to four because of my kids. They said that's fine if you can make your calls and meet you're quotas earlier than you can get off earlier, that changed to the only available shift is two to eight for all new hires. If I told you in the interview I could only work till 4 then obviously I can't work until 8. The woman, insinuates I am lying "because she was there and knows what was said". I told her I only agreed to taking the job based on the conversation we had about hours and that I only paid for the training after based on what I was told in the interview about hours and flexibility. I asked for the company to reimburse me which seemed unreasonable to her. She said she couldn't make a decision like that and it was above her position. So I asked her to let me know who to contact or to contact them and let me know what was was going to happen. Of course I have not heard anything back, I also reached out to the owner of the agency who ignored me. It's also worth noting that the weekly meeting is just a bunch different people talking about success and using motivational quotes thrown all over the place. Followed up by a closing prayer that turned into an uncomfortable hymn singing session and strange high energy preaching that lasted too long.

Pros

Unlimited income if you are getting people to show up for sales calls and selling them. The leads are free Everyone is very friendly and try to help

Cons

Most people fail to make more money than you could at a fast food restaurant in the first 4-5 months. You could realistically work 40+ hours in a week and make no money. The leads are not insurance specific leads. New people are calling leads from 6 months before which leads to making 50 calls with 1 answer.
