Pros

Great training, friendly atmosphere, very helpful coworkers

Cons

First 3 to 6 months you make $9 an hour, working 70-80 hours a week, dialing out to transfer potential clients to bankers. 700 dials a day are required, you will be staying late until you finish. Once you're a banker the hours do not get better. you will work 8am to 9pm every single day with one 30 min break all day, and even then you're expected to eat at your desk. Saturday hours are a little better, you work 8am to 6pm. If you're off pace you will work sundays as well. The sweatshop environment is very apparent in every aspect of this job. During callblock you cannot step away from your desk for any reason, even bathroom. If you'd like to be enslaved, go work at Quicken.

Pros

Licenses are paid for by the company The early trainings are effective Strong values that help set employees on the right path of actions professionally

Cons

"Limitless compensation" is oversold when there may not be ample opportunities to make a 6 figure income that they might promise. Work/Life Balance is a struggle as it is normal to assume 60+ hour weeks outside of internal sales competitions, and 70+ hour expectations during those periods The work culture can greatly vary based on your director and regional VP. Some are amazing, and care deeply. Others will throw you under the bus without second thought because you are easily replaceable.
