Pros

You have the potential to make as much money as you want and most job necessities are supplied for you, they will hire anyone interested in the job who can pass a state licensing exam, very easy to take time off, paid weekly, lots of incentive programs, it can be very enjoyable and relaxed at times.

Cons

Management is always asking how you can improve every week and rarely satisfied if you are doing exceptionally well or improving, there is a lot of travel and work expenses, you typically work 40-70 hours a week with an unstable income while having to pay for work related expenses, CHARGEBACKS ARE REAL, I was charged back over 5000$ in a matter of two weeks, that means 1-2 months working for free (depending on your sales skills), very high turnover rate that managers will tell you about but never really take any additional action to fix this problem no matter how many times an employee expresses a concern, usually about compensation, company has "forgot" to pay me several earned bonuses and their websites/ agent support is usually down when you need it.

Door to Door sales

Pros

Good training, legitimate opportunity, not a scam. They do treat employees well if you do the work.

Cons

Straight up, this is door to door sales. Dont let any of the managers try to tell you any different. Thats why I left. If I would have been told it was door to door sales in the beginning, I would have walked away right then and there. They try to use words like "canvassing", but it is just door to door sales. And yes combined, there is a difference between canvassing and door to door. In my opinion if a product cant achieve success through drawing customers in, but instead have pushy salesman strong arming people into signing, then the product just isnt worth it. Also, this is a commission only position, which many people like. Being an insurance agent is SUPPOSED to be like running your own business. You decide how/when/where you want to work. Not with Combined. They will tell you when to work. They will also tell you when you need to be on a conference call, when you need to drive for 2 hours to attend a "training" meeting, even though the training could be done on your own time, they just want to see you role play the sales pitch with other agents. All of this without earning any wages, because remember you are commissioned only. And did I mention this is door to door sales? I feel like that is an important fact that is not disclosed up front with this company.

Pros

territorial flexibility, excellent products and exceptional initial training.

Cons

Area management is not good. Territory managers may have their own interest in mind and not yours.
