Pros

Great people whoa re willing to help. to a point

Cons

-Long hours (60 to 80 a week) for no guarantee pay -manipulative scripts to convince the client to let us give them free benefits, but then pressure them to buy life insurance once in the door. -managers will be annoyed when you want to take a Saturday or Sunday off. expect to work 7 days a week. -they don't correlate "your" area good so you will be spending over 45 minutes to drive to your destination -they expect you to call the same client on the same night over 7 times. which does not end well most of the time with the potential client -sell you into working for them -300$ of your own money just to start the job. and then a month of training with no pay

Pros

Absolutely none, you work terrible hours, you travel all the time, you get stuck in peoples homes, stood up, yelled at thrown out. NONE.

Cons

Anything you can think of, the hours, the commute, the fact that you NEVER speak with a firefighter or policeman (the core of their "customers"). Bait & Switch, go in trying to give people "free" child safety kits- always end with an insurance pitch. Leads are old, you get yelled at constantly, most people give in and let you visit but hardly buy. Terrible managers, lies from the start, oh and and you have to front all of your $. Also, if you make a sale early on, which I did, your manager will often say that the income from that sale is theirs, because you are still "training" even though you made the sale on your own and the only thing your "manager" did was travel with you 1 day.

Pros

You learn a lot about insurance for your personal gain

Cons

I have read many of the latest reviews, and the first one is actually the PRESIDENT of the company. The San Antonio location is the most unprofessional company that I have attempted to work for. All managers dress professional, but most cuss while teaching their training class (including the owner). They talk about everyone embarrass trainees, as well as the administrative assistant. The agents are taught to tell its customers anything that they want to hear and are scripted to ask questions to use the information to make sales. The leads are really old and agents are not paid during training. Managers are not on the same page and it's no consistency with its curriculum. The company requires that you obtain a license, but no one teaches anything about the test because you are pressured to take the class online and take the test within the first two weeks. They also lie and tell the agents that you will be paid for gas and phone expenses, but you must reach a bonus quota in order to do so, or you are on your own. Some girl who is a manager smokes an electronic cigarette the whole time that she is teaching training and talks dirty at time, which is very offensive. Two days out of a week you are required to work seven hours using your personal cell phone and laptop without pay. In fact, you are required to use your personal laptop the entire time. The owner tells you you only work seven hours a day but she wants you to double book and you will sometimes get off after 10 p.m. They have no consideration for your life or family.
