Pros
1)Ability to take voluntary time off when available and same day paid time off. 2) Work from home
Cons
Training is about 98% Role playing and 2% everything else. Coming in as a licensed insurance agent with experience, this is not a position for someone new to the industry they will not teach the fundamentals. They will hardly touch on product and system. You will pretty much start learning everything on the floor. Problem with this set up you are micromanaged by both your manager and quality assurance. They will live listen to your calls and it creates a huge lag in between the conversation with sales agent and customer, ruins the whole flow of sales and then management comes back and coaches you on it. The company is currently mass hiring to please the stock holders, trying to reach a goal while sacrificing the agent pay. Its a bonus structure about 40+ of your policy will go straight to allstate before being able to hit bonus. You basically getting cents for the policy horrible compensation structure. You cant live off your base, they try to manage you by looking at metrics that are 3 weeks delayed, you will never accurately know your KPI's. Leads are mostly from 3rd party agencies, they also false advertise $39 policy (will sent a complaint to my state attorney general for false advertising) and expect us to quote knowing it will not be $39. Back to back calls of bottom tier leads. You will be on a tier base and if you dont play corporate politics you will not get to a higher tier. Out of team of 16 only 2 agents where hitting bonus, and for the amount they was getting and policy putting in, not worth it. You'll make top 1k bonus while selling 60 policies if able to accomplish that. Good luck and dont say I didnt warn you. Please avoid this is the worst company to work for.
