You will still to this day see multiple advertisements for inside sales reps that say "From" $70,000 or "From" $70,000 - $150,000" When you use the word "From" this indicates the minimum for the position. This is NOT what you get. What you get is $9.62 per hour. Told - We gave you lunch, your not allowed to eat away from your desk. Take a bite or two between calls. Don't get up from your desk for anything, period. If you do, you will be stared down by every manager or supervisor in the area. Work-Life balance is crap - 6 day work weeks, if you don't work a Saturday, you are nor formally reprimanded but you sure hear about it on Monday. If you need to take a day off because of medical issues or you kids are sick, just know your going to be written up. They say they want what is best for the clients. But this is NOT the truth. The truth is, just sell them a plan, you might save the client $5 on a copay but the other benefits of the plan are worse, doesn't matter, why didn't you sell them that plan? High pressure sales tactics for these seniors. I was even reprimanded because I didn't sell or change the plan of a client that was in Hospice. They really don't care about the client, only their bottom dollar. If you have any kind of ethics don't come to this company.

A Typical day- Dreadfully clock-in to make your $14.50/hr 8AM- pointless meeting listening to an agent make a potential client feel horrible about their current situation so SQ can get their hands on $78/mo of the clients $700/mo SS check. The trainers tell you to "dumb yourself down to the client's level." No need to worry, that client will cancel. SQ retention rate (policies that stay inforce) is around 30%. 9AM-12PM- pressing a button on a poorly made SQ proprietary website to take a lead another agent pushed through to you (They are not interested in what you're selling). Basically you are a telemarketer and SQ treats you like one. No respect for your professional license, college degree, they don't care about you or their clients. 12PM-1PM- Lunch 1PM-6PM- More uninterested leads that you were hired to "make interested." If you think that's what marketing is for, you are wrong. Maybe just maybe you sell a deal. $700 Annual Premium. Even after work you are constantly stressed because upper management holds your job over your head like a lab rat and cheese. You can never figure out what your commission will be because SQ will find every possible way to take it from you. Didn't get an email address, SQ's scumbag hands are taking 5% out of your pocket. The company is on it's way to bankruptcy. They make false promises to their employees and to their board members. They promise streets of gold and deliver trash dirt roads. Do not believe a positive thing you are told about this company, run. Keep your head up and keep looking!
