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

Bait you in with their company philosophy and positive mental attitude.

Cons

Over promise and under deliver. Promise their sales staff over 50k first year. You'll be lucky to clear 20k on their all commission structure. Most sales agents don't even clear for medical benefits, which the company promises.
