Pros

-If you want to dedicate every moment of your life to selling life insurance then it's great for you and you can make a lot of money -I really enjoyed most of my co-workers, I still keep in touch

Cons

-100% commission -bait and switch tactics -6 days a week -Sales territory at least an hour 1/2 away from the office -for the first 90 days you are in 'boot camp' and basically live there whether its useful or not -training is not very good (and not paid) all of my co-workers said they did not feel very prepared -senior management is very pushy -announced what people made every week in meetings They are not a scam and their products are good but they want you to give up everything in order to make a lot of money. They don't let you take off and they make you feel bad about not working every single day. Income is not steady, it could be amazing one week and nothing the next, it's more luck than anything. In the end, I lost more money than I made because I had to drive two hours away from the office to meet up with clients. After gas and toll roads it was impossible to come out on top. Also, they have very sneaky tactics to get people to buy and to hire new people. It made me feel 'dirty' for lack of a better word. I didn't feel good about what I was doing after I saw what was going on. ps: I was told in a meeting that all the positive comments about the company on these job boards like 'If hard work is a con then so be it' was made by senior management in order to get more people to apply to the company. The more people they hire to make money, the more the upper management makes Everything I said above is true, ask a manager and see what stuff they try to come up with but ultimately they can't argue with it.
