Pros

Rapid advancement because the company lacks quality trainers and there is a complete absence of staff and qualified administration. Anyone with or without management experience in any field is sucked into the void if they are able to sell the products.

Cons

The great majority of the agents are newly-licensed. There are no long-term employees for a reason. Salesmen without any experience or ability to train are quickly promoted to trainers. The atmosphere is unprofessional, and with few exceptions, the "trainers" are unhelpful, unstable, and abusive. Despite the internal turmoil and the lack of training or support, exclusively through self-training and personal efforts, I successully sold the products, which I am now ashamed of due to the poor quality of coverage provided to the suckers who bought the so-called "insurance". Touting the indemnity and "better than any major-medical" products as "exempt" from federal regulations, no mention is made in their printed material of the penalty a policy-holder is subject to under the ACA's individual mandate if purchasing USHA's plans.

I'm not exactly sure which company you are describing...but it certainly doesn't look anything like USHEALTH Advisors. By the way, where are you located? I don't see a location listed for your reported experience with our company. Rapid advancement is certainly possible, due to the exponential growth of our company. I see this as a good sign...just as I do the fact that we are providing career opportunities to newly-licensed agent. We are after all, an equal opportunity company. Why would we want to exclude someone who is newly licensed in the industry? You make a broad-based statement about no long-term employees...and yet, I see people who have built careers here that span decades. As for myself, I've been here since 2009. Considering that the average worker in America stays with a company for just 4.6 years...I think myself and many others qualify as "long-termers" Now...let's address your statements about our products. Is it possible that your perception of our products is rooted in a lack of understanding? I ask this simply because any examination of our products would reveal they represent a low-cost, high-benefit solution to today's healthcare dilemma. By the way, I checked the company's printed material and found no less than 4 different paragraphs explaining the ACA individual mandate and the shared responsibility payment/tax penalty. I'll be happy to point them out for you. Just reach out to me at bill.shelton@ushadvisors.com. In the meantime, I wish you well 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.
