Pros

The money is the best pro to working here along with the freedom. I have worked for this co for 2 plus years and I joined this office mid July of 2019 and made $98,678.24 through December 31st 2019 with a total lead cost of zero. I also think it's a pro that I have control over my own schedule and although I work hard nobody tells me when to lunch or how long and when I can take vacation.

Cons

The biggest con is that I see people who don't have a sales background or at least a strong sales aptitude come into this business and think magic will happen...then they blame everyone else when it doesn't. This position is not for people who do not have a background in sales or a least a very strong desire to develop that aptitude AND at least 2 months cash reserves in the bank while you get started. I have a sales background that spans over 20 years and I was licensed to sell insurance for many years before joining this company. Plenty of people come here without my background and they do well but those people also had a strong sales background or a strong aptitude with a couple months reserves in the bank.

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.
