Pros

$50K Base Salary after 6 months of ground work.

Cons

They promise you a $50K Base if you hit numbers, attend, and obtain your license in a month. Yet- if you achieve these goals they won’t promote you based on “current available positions.” I’ve seen individuals with degrees take more than 10 months to become a BDR2 which is only one step closer (out of four) to the Account Exec position. They need to pay penny’s for individuals to call their leads and keep their business afloat. Their way of business is buying leads promising a chance to win prizes. It’s interesting.

We provide an opportunity to advance and have a lucrative career helping protect American families with life insurance. Those criteria have many dimensions: someone could be ‘hitting their numbers’ but struggle with their state licensing requirements, perhaps they are not conducting themselves with the professionalism we require of our agents. We have had people with a master’s degree struggle and people with a GED have tremendous success. We are confident that our training program will bring out the best in the individuals who complete it and go on to have a long lasting, rewarding career.

Pros

Has been an great opportunity. Can do big things here. A lot of the complaints are people who dont put in the work to advance. You have to work hard to get to AE. They have sales meetings every month and call out promotions and there are ALWAYS a lot of promotions to sales roles. You literally see promos every month. Good earning opportunities get to work fully remote from home. They invest a lot into you starting up. Yes, you have to make it past BDR role but that’s an important role because it’s when you get licensed and then when you become an agent your get leads sent to you all day. Company is like a small family you can tell leadership is strong together which makes for an enjoyable work environment. Can go on with pros: good benefits, base pay, computer + monitors, incentives, company trips for top earners, training, it goes on.

Cons

They give chances to non- sales backgrounds. Therefore you’re sometimes dealing with the inexperienced people that think it’s a cake walk. They quickly find out it’s not as easy as they hoped. In turn they don’t try to get better and blame everything but themselves, which is why you see a lot of these negative reviews. I had people on my team complain about everything and you could tell it wasn’t going to work out for them right away. It’s sales it’s tough. Gotta put in the work as you would any company. People say you can make more flipping burgers.. ya their goals are also not long term if working for the minimu wage rather than the commission. If I could change one thing I’d suggest they only hire sales ppl so that everyone could be surrounded by like minded individuals but I get it. Some people make the most out of it with out sale background I’m sure
