Pros

freedom, the opportunity to build and grow financially. The feeling of ringing the bell and getting a hard-earned paycheck.

Cons

I wish I wasn't blindsided with all the fees for the licensing process, the fees for getting into more states, and the high monthly fees to operate. The hiring process seemed like I was getting into some Mary Kay of insurance, pyramid-scheme. If it weren't for glassdoor I would have avoided this like the plague. There seem to be no answers on how to get higher quality leads or effectively get access to more prospects so you had better be comfortable with having a sizable upfront investment and staying in the RED your first few months until you figure something out. On a realistic note, at the end of the day, this is a job for a certain type of person. There's very little financial security upfront so you will need to be hungry and willing to do what it takes every day to be sustainable let alone successful. The cons are what you make of them.

Thank you for your comments and your advice. We will endeavor to improve the USHA opportunity wherever possible. I understand your frustration with leads. Like all sales and marketing organizations, we recognize the importance of leads. We also recognize that the quality of sales leads is at best, an imprecise science. Rather than relying solely on sales leads, let me encourage you to engage in your own marketing efforts utilizing the tools provided by USHA. For more information on this topic, please visit our Ask USHA series...or ask your up line sales leader to share the video of the "Growing Your Business" Panel Discussion I hosted at our 2019 Leaders Meeting.

Pros

-Unlimited Income Potential -Commission-based compensation with no fixed cap. -High performers can build a substantial income based on production and consistency. 📈 Opportunity for Advancement Clear path into leadership and agency-building for those interested in recruiting and mentoring. Advancement is generally performance-based rather than tenure-based. 🏥 Broad Portfolio of Health Products Offers multiple health insurance and supplemental products, allowing agents to tailor recommendations to different client needs. Can be beneficial for clients who qualify for medically underwritten plans. 🤝 Training and Mentorship Many offices provide ongoing sales training, role-playing, and coaching. New agents often benefit from mentorship from experienced producers (the quality of training varies by office). -Year-Round Sales Opportunity -Performance-Based Recognition -Incentives, contests, trips, awards, and recognition for top producers are common. -Can be motivating for competitive individuals. -Flexible Schedule -Agents generally have flexibility over when they work, although success often requires disciplined, full-time effort. -Entrepreneurial Environment -Agents operate more like business owners than traditional employees. Opportunity to build a personal book of business and develop referral relationships. -Helping Clients

Cons

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.
