Micromanagement! - I had truly some of the most unproffesional managers Ive ever worked with. From encouraging me to use slimy business tactics to make sales, to removing me from the team and placing me on a new team once I asked to work within the confines of my 1099 contract and not work full time, this company truly is terrible. My managers would call me all day even on weekends if I wasnt sitting on Zoom making calls to the infinite pool of reused leads Misleading - I was told Id be calling fresh leads and to leads that requested life insurance. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Most of my leads were reused leads from other agents, many of them didn't request life insurance but were promised a free accidental policy, child saftey kit or a free will kit. A classic example of a bait and switch. Also, My managers would reprimand me for not selling to these leads while they were spending most of their time calling POS. PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAD COVERAGE, and were re selling insurance to them. What a FARCE. Hours- They tell you, that you have the ability to choose your own hours. But will call you endlessly if you actually want to do so. I worked for a year 9am to 9 pm. The minute I wanted to change my schedule I was transferred to a new less successful team. Encouraged to lie to make money - my management lied to many customers about their coverage and even falsified information to get them coverage, this is illegal. But there's very little regulation. Ultimately this job is a sales job. You can only really make money if you build a team with the company and encourage others to essentially replace you as the 9-9 sales agaent. while you make money off of their work. I did learn good business skills as it was my first sales job but I also learned just how terrible a company can be
