Pros

The pay is good as long as you keep in mind the average pay in thr Jacksonville Fla area is 32k.

Cons

Constant pressure and unrealistic, unrelenting goals. Eventually you'll probably have to put some time in for counselling for stress. Constantly feel like your jobs on the line. This place is a revolving door. Commission structures are confusing and constantly changing just to benefit upper management.

Pros

None that I am able to share, without lying!

Cons

Get ready, sit down, this might take a while. During the extensive interview and hiring process, I was continually told about the ability to more than $75k per year. Also told the inbound leads were 'fully qualified' and fairly distributed among the available agents. These concepts are far from the truth. The recruiters and hiring managers would NOT talk about the compensation plan, and I had no true idea how to assess the job offer at hand. It wasn't until well into the training period that the 'current compensation plan' was hinted, with no real truth to how the multi-tiered comp plan was structured. More on that point: the comp plan was changed every month, each time with less money going to agents, harder to make the base line. I never before worked so hard with so little results and so little pay. What ever happened to the comp: base pay (reasonable) and FIXED PERCENT COMMISSION??? Not this place....depending on performance for the month, could earn as little as 1%... This company pays best percent commission on 'bundling home and auto', yet due to the lead distribution system, a high percent of inbound leads were from states where it is IMPOSSIBLE to bundle, leaving the best possible commission to be 2.5% - not what is considered fair. And, most of the management staff has NO insurance experience, and seem to turn a deaf ear to problems and concerns, Upper management has NO connection to the lower agents, and have no real idea how to guide staff in making the career choice with this company successful. Benefits (health and dental )are very expensive and limited in scope.
