Pros

Great people, motivating environment and opportunity to make alot of money, if your good.

Cons

Dont allow them to give you the wrong idea about getting paid. This is an only commission based job. You make money as long as you can sell insurance. They pay you upfront for a full year of that insurance policy, but heads up if that client cancels their policy, they will be getting that back from you.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you benefited from our supportive management team and positive environment while at AIL but disappointed it wasn't a good long-term career fit. This position does require a sales-minded individual and isn't for everyone. However, with hard work and dedication, this can be an extremely productive career financially and personally. Thank you for your contribution to our AIL team and best wishes to you in the future.
