Licensed Sales Agent-Medicare Division
Pros
Very good pay. They don't have to pay you an hourly rate but they do, which is nice. I'd say the average salary is 80k. Top salary is around 150k. Bottom salary probably around 65k. Either way your still making good income. They provide you with good training. You are hired as a temp during AEP but this is where you prove you can sell. If you can study and sell good in Medicare insurance for this short 5 months you most definitely will retain a permanent position in life, auto/home or Medicare division. Great work environment and great people. The company really treats you well and will go out of their way to help you. Every day I go to work and sell something I feel like I am winning the lottery! Management is very flexible and accommodating when it comes to work/life balance. But don't over step bounds or over use this perk. Show that you can work hard and you will be rewarded. They understand personal time is needed but do expect your time at work means actually working. They don't like slackers or negative Nancy's. You will find the door quickly if that's the case. I can honestly say I like going to work at a call center. Most people on the outside have no idea the people inside are making tons of money at this place. It's a gold mine.
Cons
All these negative comments you see on here are the ones who didn't make it or left because they couldn't sell. If you can sell even remotely good this company will keep you. They are not going to get rid of you after investing time training and money into you. They will find you a job in the company the best they can. I've never seen someone get fired or let go. They are very good at letting you know it's not working here and most realize it quickly and leave on their own before they even have the chance to fire you. It's just the way it goes. Don't complain if you can't do the job. It's sink or swim. One con I will mention is the company 401k match. It's kind of weak (500 dollar match a year). On the flip side you are making good money, so you definitely can invest more. Another con would be the compensation plan. Although it pays well, the plan is kinda confusing and tedious to follow, and really seems too complex especially for new agents. I think it should be put simple on paper.
