Pros

Truthfully, there are not a lot of pro's working for this company. They even keep your insurance license appointments when they let you go so you can't make money anywhere else.

Cons

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.

Pros

Your Direct Manager Was Understanding

Cons

The only positive thing I can say is working there for over 3 years I made some lifetime friends and my direct manager was one of the best managers I have ever had. But your level above is a complete circus. You decided to completely close our office down and let all the sales reps work from home but decided that you were going to lay me off because I was considered "customer service" and it was too much of a hassle to have me work from home than you like so you let me go with a promise of a severance it took over a month of constantly calling and emailing for me to finally start getting my severance if it wasn't for the COVID hitting and my mortgage letting me deferred my payments I would have lost my house because of your company. You also didn't file my health insurance correctly when working there I was suppose to be getting a health savings account but when I went to the hospital they advised that my company didnt file correctly so I lost out on that also.
