Pros

Peers and leadership are nice and supportive. The school in Chicago is all expense paid and the instructors promote a genuine care and concern. 55% commission versus typical 30% commission pay structure for worksite products and bonuses earned.

Cons

They hire anyone. You are in a room, which extremely unprofessional peers and leadership. The schooling in Chicago, elicits a robotic and cult like feel. They make you memorize scripts verbatim and chant cheesy lines as a form of motivation. You have to hustle knocking door to door on businesses. They present the idea, that leads are provided. By leads, they mean a list of businesses in your designated area which you cold call and randomly door knock. Compensation for worksite is only 55%, versus life insurance which is typically 75-90%. Guaranted pay goes by very quickly and is not enough to sustain a person. The expense of gas is high as you have to drive to random businesses, in your attempt to bombard them with a forced sales presentation. I've witnessed leadership, be overbaring to the point of their very presence creating a high degree of tension by simply walking through the door. It's an embarrassing feeling as well as association.

Pros

The people in my department work very hard. Combined found a group of individuals who know how to complete projects, need little to none support from management to get a job done and who come to work in spite of not liking the position and/or management.

Cons

This department is not taken seriously. Combined allows talent in the department to go unused. Will lose a lot of good people because of management.
