Pros

Company has a strong financial backing by the CHUBB company and has been in business for many years. products are good. As an agent, there truly were no pros. I attended training in Chicago which was very stressful. Trainer was inadequate, had never sold a thing in her life. decent knowledge of the products but knew absolutely nothing about sales or customer service, attempted to train us like we were her pet monkies., was very rude at times and condescending. I left my family a whole week only to be publicly insulted & humiliated several times . Accomodations were okay nothing great. Classes were long with evening assignments that lasted til 9:00 at night. I was paid $500.00 for about 60 hours of work so approx minimum wage.

Cons

There were no leads in my area so I would drive for an hour and a half before sitting down in front of a client. What the company considered as leads was actually their data base of customers who they revisited over & over & over. Some clients had as high as (9 ) of their policies. many were very irritated when you arrived at their door. I was told in the beginning that I would be working with businesses which was very appealing only to find out that none of my managers knew nothing about how to go about that. I was with this company just shy of 120 days and earned less than $1,000.00. Gasoline & auto repairs cost me a lot more than this. I have been in sales for many years starting out in college selling Kirby vacuums whre I was promoted to a distributor only after a couple of years so I was not new to this type of sales.
