If you don't meet the minimum production, they are quick to fire you. A lot of the people I started with got fired within the first few months. It's a tough job. You must be mentally tough. Some of the leads are good, some are horrible, and a lot are somewhere in between. Your will get a lot of transfers that don't have any interest or that mentally just aren't all there. You will get tired of dealing with some of the types of people that get transferred to you. Management will expect you to be on the phone talking to someone at all times. They encourage you stay working late every single day. It's a call center, telemarketer type of environment. If you are a good sales person there are better places to work and make more money selling insurance. I would say it's a good place to get your feet wet with life insurance, see if it's for you, survive in the environment for one year and then move on to a better opportunity.

Well first things first: They hire you on with a base pay of $18 an hour. Then after 90 days, you are down to $13, the excuse given is your sales will make up the difference (only if you’re the top 20% of agents). 27% pay decrease. Next, you’re sales region will more than likely be the south east United States, which is the poorest, and most uneducated population. These people have zero money, zero jobs, zero ambition, milking the disability system, and are the most unhealthy folks in the country. The way the call queue works is: Level 1 agents: get their sales teed up for them. 50% of the time. They write $50,000+ in business a month. They are making good money. Level 2: writing about 35-40k in business a month and have calls you can close. Level 3: good luck. Maybe 1 out of 10 are closeable. Level 3R: this is a test to see if you can make it out of the first 90 days. Many do not, in fact only 20% of each incoming class is kept. The rest are fired quickly. Failure to meet production minimums is termination, which is expected, it’s sales. Now, it’s plain as day how unfair the commission compensation is. Let’s say you are a level 3 agent, getting 1/10 calls to close, you might write $650 in premium a day. They will only pay you 3.75% of that AP. You will not receive big commission checks, because they have a QA department that’s whole job is to analyze your calls and rate your performance. Oh you missed to gather and email address? 15% of your commission is taken.
