Pros

Sharif, Craig, and a few others (limited to upper mgmt in the furer whittinghill agency are amazing. I respect Craig more than I could ever tell him. American Income Life is not a pyramid scheme, or a multi level marketing scheme. It's a legitimate company

Cons

Those that are one step above entry level are absolute jerks. Incentives for recruiting, the bonus structure etc are features of pyramid and multi level schemes. They destroy morale and leave only those who thrive on drama. itt's unsustainable.

Pros

The majority of my fellow associates were great people to be in the office with. There was growth going on at the time I enlisted with the company and we had faces moving and coming in so it kept us excited that there might be some new management opportunities in the beginning.

Cons

I worked there for six months. In that time I had four different managers, and five different locations. There was never any time to build a client base, and even with that time the areas I was in were so poverty stricken that it didn't matter if i gave the presentation of my life to these people they would buy and then a month of two later cancel. When they cancel you loose everything and anything you made on the sale, and i mean immediately. No warning it gets taken directly out of your bank account without your knowledge, and it isn't until after the fact you even found out in your reports that they were gonna take it. They don't tell you in the beginning that it is a commission based job in total. I was promised a salary and all these benefits, and when the time came for put up or shut up I was paying for everything but the company paperwork. The manager that hired me was involved with a misrepresentation scandal where he had not only hired me, but another five people under false promises and pretenses. The second manager I was with took me to a house during training and left me to do a presentation to a woman she had seen the previous week and pissed off. I was in the home for about 15 minutes with the lady until she respectfully declined and I went out and had to walk a mile down a gravel road and waited on the highway for nearly an hour and a half before my manager came back to pick me up. She had things to do and apparently my training wasn't important. My third manager was with me all of a week before I was bounced to another, and finally had some stability and working understanding with this one but by then I was about spent. Being moved from location to location all I did was place a ton of child safe boxes, which is the main way they swindle a lot of appointments. I also was hired because I knew the people and the area I was in and no one there did, and i was constantly pushed to call on family and friends multiple times to buy, buy, buy, which nearly cost me a ton of friendships and respect in the process.
