Pros

You can earn a large paycheck if you work entirely to many hours. Good place to work if you don't have a college degree and have nothing else to do (family, hobbies, life outside of work etc.)

Cons

Many things you are told in training are only partly true. Management does a good job bending words and making the position seem better/more desirable than it truly is. Work 6 days a week bare minimum 8 hours a day and regularly asked to work on Sunday's.

Pros

Weekly paychecks, weekly bonuses, weekly leadership bonuses and residual income! With a great leadership team, it's easy to see why the Arias Agencies is Number One in the company.

Cons

This isn't for everyone. If you want to make what the top 5% of America makes, you have to be willing to do what 95% of America is not willing to do...work.

Pros

They did have a very good one week training program. You get lots of continued support. You learn a lot about sales. You get assigned a mentor. Mine was passionate and her mentor was as well. They made themselves available to me. Their bread and butter product, a Final Protection Life Plan to cover funeral expenses seems like a worthwhile product that I do believe has value and I was happy to offer to people. But other sideline policies not so much. Pay is in line with how much work you put in it.

Cons

Full commission. To advance you'll need to pull in friends or family into AIL. A lot of cold calling. They say it's not, that the leads are genuine, but it is in fact cold calling. You're basically switch and baiting your customers. For example, a young single mother might be interested in a child safety kit, so she signs up online. So you come to their house. She's expecting this kit, but instead all of a sudden, she gets a one hour plus insurance presentation. If she's not interested in it for herself, we're supposed to try to sell a policy for her kid, which I found distasteful. The weekly meetings were a bit to rah rah for me. There's a lot of driving around which is not reimbursed. To be successful, expect 60 hour work weeks. I was in the Burlington, MA office (Fisher Agencies)
