Pros

When you did make a sale the pay was kinda good.

Cons

They expect so much from you but your not getting paid by the hour so no I don't want to come to the office just to sit there all day. They lie and say the money is fast and this job is easy but it's everything but that. Expect to not have any income for 2 plus months at least. See I don't know about you but I don't have money saved like that. I used all my savings on this job believed I could make money but that went down the toilet. I wish I had never gotten the job and wasted my time. The manager I had was great most times. She wanted me to stick in it but I couldn't. Their turn over rate was so high, higher then any job I had ever seen, they hire every Friday. I felt like I was liying to clients when I called saying I have some free child safety kits when actual I just wanted to sell them insurance. Oh and when booking these appointments the word insurance should never come out your mouth ( strange to me if that's what we're here for why cover it up). I hated going into people's homes as well so nasty so uncomfortable for me.

Pros

American Income Life offers unlimited opportunity. I have only worked for AIL for a short period, however I have already experienced overwhelmingly positive results. With the advice and guidance of my management team, as well as my own hard work, I have already been able to gain financial stability and advance into management. The work environment is extremely upbeat and there is always someone willing to help out or give advice if needed.

Cons

In order to be successful, you must be highly motivated and willing to work hard.
