Pros

So far so good. I have just completed my 3rd day of training. So I'm writing this review from my hotel. I am very excited about this new opportunity. I have read some of the reviews on here some negative some positive but I am never going to allow my self to be discouraged by someone else's failure. I will say that this training is intense but I know its going to pay off and I look forward to doing another review in 3 months to update you on my success. The breakfast at the hotel is very good and the company pays for everything. They fly you in and pay for your lodging. They give you a prepaid credit card that you can use for food and things that you need. My trainer is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. My room is very clean . They shuttle you to and from training and the cafeteria food is pretty darn good. As far as income potential they really give you a positive out look.

Cons

They throw a lot at you in a short time. You have to stay on your toes and memorize a lot of information but you know the old saying no pain no gain.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive review! We love hearing your perspective, as someone currently in training. Our talented trainers work hard to prepare our new agents for success in the field during the week-long training session in Chicago through formal classes, role playing and team building. We continue to offer support and continued development to our agents once they’re in the field. It sounds like you have a positive attitude, which should serve you well in this position. We wish you all the best in your future here, and we look forward to hearing about your success!

Pros

W2 postion with full benefits

Cons

Commissioned and managers don't train you. I had a female manager in Newburgh who was always late and very unprofessional. All the policies that we wrote cancelled and I was charged back all the commissions. Combined lied to me about the pay. I worked 12 hour days and mad no money.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Our agents have the ability to earn a virtually unlimited income based on the volume of their sales, but it's true this type of sales is not for everyone. We regret it was not a good fit for you. We don't tolerate the type of behavior you are reporting. If you would, please email us at feedback@combined.com with more detailed information. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay structure. You are paid a much reduced commission rate by selling to existing customers, like you're penalized for servicing your customers. Trips and incentives are good, but the next trip is going to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day-even the Irish avoid it!

Cons

Awful management. The Sales Managers are on 100% commission and get a tiny override on their team so there isn't much incentive for them to help you out. You are expected to pay for all travel, even mandatory meetings that are located hours away and take you out of the field for 1-2 days. You get publicly shamed if you don't write business on a Monday...even if you are the top agent and work all weekend. PMA is in theory only. People work at Combined for 30 days or 30 years. Nothing innovative, no CRM, marketing, social media allowed. You can't even write an email to a potential client. You are absolutely on your own. The underwriting and marketing guidelines are ridiculous...you waste your time thinking you are doing the right thing for a client based on the information you are given but policies aren't issued. THEN it affects your bonus structure! There are so many better companies to work for-modern approach with better products. Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Go elsewhere.
