Pros

The office is in a convenient location inside the Sears Tower and is well maintained. The sales floor is genuinely diverse, with people of different ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. You'll find everyone from recent college graduates to career changers and seasoned professionals. The atmosphere can be energetic and even fun at times, with music playing and plenty of conversation around the office.

Cons

Micromanagement was a huge issue during my time here. The reviews mentioning timed bathroom breaks and strict expectations around phone availability were consistent with my experience. It often felt like every minute of the day was being monitored. Most of the people I spoke with weren't just seniors—they were some of the most vulnerable people I've ever worked with, including individuals dealing with dementia, mental illness, physical disabilities, or serious financial hardship. Even in those conversations, there was constant pressure to push forward with the sales process instead of taking the extra time those situations sometimes deserved. I also found that speaking up or questioning decisions wasn't encouraged. If you weren't willing to go along with management without much pushback, it could affect how you were treated. In my experience, some interactions with sales and program managers felt unprofessional and, at times, verbally aggressive. If you're genuinely interested in getting into the Medicare industry, you can definitely gain experience here, but I'd treat it as a stepping stone rather than somewhere to build a long-term career. There are better brokerages out there, and if staying in the industry is your goal, I'd recommend exploring those instead.

Pros

Strong company culture focused on taking care of employees and clients. Excellent place to work, as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort.

Cons

Not necessarily a con. Still a relatively young, and growing firm that is building out structure.

Pros

The people you meet who do the same thing as you and 10% of the sales managers are great and actually normal

Cons

Pay is terrible. In the interview they make it seem like you will be making $50k+ after you close some calls but it takes 1.5+, probably 2+ years to even get a $1 raise based on sales. You get 6 hours of PTO a month which is not even a full day and they fire people who go over. They expect you to dial with no breaks in between dials for 8 hours if you do not close your inbounds, which are all based on luck. The role requires minimal selling skills and success is 80% based on luck and who you get on the phone which is all based on a queue. If you do not convert these the inbound leads they have you dial all day and the #s you dial, probably 30 other agents have dialed already that same day. Feel bad for the people who are in their CRM because they get double digit calls each day from us. Oh yeah, and your bathroom breaks are timed.
