Pros

The very few leads we did get were quality.

Cons

This company grades you from day 1 and their entire goal is to cut out employees including new hires until they only have a few to keep. I am a long time seasoned vet in insurance, so I know how the industry works. This company will provide you with a 43 page script to memorize and be tested on starting on day 2. Your initial bonus is based on your final grade from training. This is not the way to train. Note that I got the top bonus, so this isn't just sour grapes. They promise you no less than 10 leads per day and set minimum sales goals in 6 categories that you must hit to keep your job. This is in place in your first month taking live calls. They don't guarantee the leads though and thus I only averaged about 6 calls in an 8 hour day. Your schedule is fixed and they don't allow you to shift it to work in more of a prime time schedule. They did not adjust goals down to account for the lack of leads. Please read the other reviews on here as they are spot on about management. They pretend to care about your wellbeing, but have no ability or effort to correct issues the company has. They also have questionable ethics with customers as they will often refuse to send a customers app to the carrier if they don't think the customer will get approved in a positive light. The company is 100% about making a ton of money at the expense of their employees. They also failed to pay the final weeks pay that was due. Note also that health insurance for a family of 4 with them is $1200 a month, so don't take the position for benefits either.

We are sorry that you did not have a positive employment experience with us. Our sales environment is a​ highly competitive and dynamic one, and we are always upfront about this. Although we ​do strive to prepare employees for this reality, it may not be a fit for everyone. Also, we pay out all wages and PTO upon termination, and if you believe there has been an error, we would be happy to research and rectify as appropriate. We wish you the better opportunities ahead of you.

Pros

A lot of fine, genuinely motivated, gifted students & peers to get to know Uses latest technology and gives each employee plenty of work space and those type of resources Prizes, awards, contests, a ton of money to be made - an exciting place at first! The company fixes errors quickly, often the same day.

Cons

Training class sizes are not proportional to the type of training that is required to stay in tune with what's happening in class. Very strong support in the beginning turns into chaotic, systemized arrogance as training moves forward. Management treats employees well for the most part (depending on one's level of toleration with borderline harassing language and behavior). Training classes are unproportional to the level of skill, attention, and attunement that is required for this job. Questions a trainee may have about the material goes unanswered which causes frustration. This continues on and on, leaving trainees asking others around them for answers, but even they are guessing. This is no good and does nothing but set up the trainee for failure. If you miss even one absence, it takes a lot of resources that many don't have to survive and keep up with the material. The trainers do not make time to go over missed, or misunderstood material, unless of course, you stay late, and you have get caught up within a certain timeframe, usually an hour because everyone goes home. If you still don't have your questions answered, you may never know which leaves holes in knowledge that is necessary to have in order to move to the next step of your learning. If you don't get that knowledge, it puts your learning on hold and you get far behind quickly. Then you end up seeing this in your bonuses and other pay if you stay home sick or have to be gone for whatever reason. There are more cons that I won't mention here because there are just too many.
