Pros

Unlimited earning potential, some flexibility with hours and remote work

Cons

Essentially selling indemnity fixed benefit plans that are underwritten which should be illegal. Basically their plans only has basic coverage but won't cover for a catastrophic injury. It's still expensive for a fixed a plan. It's nearly impossible for anyone to qualify for the plans. Their scripts teach you to deceive the people your selling to by not disclosing a lot of info. Basically people will save a little money with the fixed plan but not enough to make it worthwhile

Thank you for your comments. While we appreciate your expression of opinion, we feel compelled to add some additional facts. Although you feel fixed indemnity plans should be illegal, the state Departments of Insurance apparently disagree, recognizing the important role such plans play in the marketplace. Every plan offered by USHEALTH Advisors has been thoroughly vetted by the state DOI and approved for sale in the state. I am unclear as to what you describe as a deceptive script, because all USHA agents are trained to use the product brochure or a compliance approved presentation for all sales activities. Using anything other than approved sales materials is cause for contract termination. You seem to be misinformed regarding our coverage and its ability to cover catastrophic injuries or illnesses. The ability to upgrade to catastrophic coverage at any time is actually the hallmark of our product offerings. I am confused by your comments under the Advice to Management section. As an independent contractor (not an employee) you bear responsibility for the cost of running your independent business. This is clearly spelled out in the USHA Agent agreement, which you would have signed when your contracted with the company. I'm afraid I also have to take exception with your statement about no money in the first 2 months. While this may have been your experience...for reasons known only to you...the truth is that many of our newest agents are actively selling and making money within their first week or two with the company. Again, thank you for your comments. We wish you much success in your future endeavors.

Pros

As a former agent who started at US Health in 2014 and then advanced high enough to open a top 10 office with over 20 agents I feel I have a lot of valuable information to share with anyone considering a career here. First of all, before I explain why I am never going back, let me say that for new agents thinking about joining the industry, or seasoned agents WILLING TO LEARN, this is probably the best insurance opportunity in America. NO insurance company I have ever worked for prior or since pays as much in commission as USHA and NO insurance company has a product that is as innovative. Also, I'm not going to rehash what everyone else has already said, it is not a 9-5 job and if you are willing to put in the work it WILL pay off. All that being said, your success depends a LOT on your up-line. I am the 5th or 6th manager that has left this particular division. At some point, you would think the company would listen to the complaints from the other agents in this division. Sadly that has not been the case. I have had numerous former agents calling me crying about what the office has become, but unfortunately, they are fairly stuck. My advice for anyone considering a career is to ask for a report from the office, and look for yourself at how many people they have and how well they produce. The best managers have teams with consistent sales. Choose one of those, otherwise you WILL regret your time here. Choose the right office and this job WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Cons

Unless you are a great self-starter and at the top 1% of the game, you will fail unless you choose the right team.
