Pros

decent base pay, bonus plan isn't bad decent employee benefits mostly M-F schedules outside of AEP

Cons

You may get hired for a different job/role than what you applied for and they won't tell you until you are a few days into training (happened to me and several others in my class). Payroll issues happen frequently. I encountered at least 3 different pay check discrepancies, many others were victim to this too. Terrible support system and constant change in team leads. You may even be assigned a manager who doesn't have experience with the product/department you're in. This caused many teams/agents to have different approaches to achieving performance goals. Some encourage an ethical approach, but most focus on encouraging leads to submit an application for a plan even if it doesn't truly improve their situation "because you never know if they'll agree to it or not". They praise and promote agents who submit large numbers of applications even if they are not compliant. Director would rather talk about Beyonce than providing useful and substantial feedback or advice. Awful lead generation system where people from other countries are misleading/misinforming the prospects getting transferred to you OR their advertisements are tremendously misleading. Benefits are alright. Base pay is decent, bonus structure is alright but team leads won't coach you sufficiently for you to bonus consistently. If you are struggling you'll either get forgotten month-to-month or written up with the intent to be terminated. Even when they write you up, they won't provide any productive coaching and will continue to let you struggle. Management can be unprofessional and provide minimal support but want to micromanage your day. If you're late or miss time from work because of internet or power outages, they will hold you accountable for it even if it is beyond your control. Ironic coming from a company whose leaders rarely show accountability.

Pros

Good pay, supportive coworkers, and opportunities to grow and learn in the insurance field. Some leaders are very encouraging and helpful, The job teaches strong communication and problem solving skills, especially handling customers over the phone.

Cons

The work can be mentally draining at times due to difficult customer interactions throughout the day. Leadership styles can vary a lot depending on the team or manager, so adapting to constant changes and different expectations can sometimes be stressful. There are also frequent changes within teams and processes.

Pros

There's money to be made, not outside of AEP/OEP much. they train you well and most of the managers are flexible and caring.

Cons

Only certain programs are worth it there I was in their Aetna direct program first and that was good, leads knew who they were talking to, what to expect etc. However their programs outside of direct ones are bad, they trick people into calling in with the promise of a grocery card that does not exist. The most vulnerable community who needs the most help, made me feel like I was a scammer. Or they thought they were calling the carrier or Medicare themselves.
