Pros

Free leads (though limited) Metrics to understand where you're at sales wise Top sales contests with cash awards. I won about $10,000 on just 2 contests. Small daily contests with gas cards, preloaded Visa's, grocery cards, etc.

Cons

Micromanagement at a high level. Too many reviews even if you're top producer. Broken technology...this is a calls center and at least one day per week, the phones would go down, or the sales system would come to a screeching halt. Leads were limited down from 14 per day to 8, and the delivery volume was only producing 3-5 leads per day which reduces ones ability to produce a higher income. Very high turnover ratio. They have more quality control people listening to your calls than they do sales people. They will pull your sale away from you for the slightest variance from script...yet the sale is still valid, so they keep the entire commission. Management prefers to humiliate those who are performing poorly for the week by pulling them away from the group and making them move to a spot in the building with a big sign that says, 'The Wilderness' thus calling attention to their lower numbers...and breaking down morale for those who are at the top of the game.

Pros

It is Easy to get hired due to low standards

Cons

During the hiring orocess you will be promised many things that they just won't be able to do for u because the comp changes to frequently. No matter what happens, over time you'll continually do more and more work for less money. This company is looking to expand the salesforce but they have no ability to grow the lead consumption due to competition. This naturally results in less and less opportunity for each agent.

Pros

You can make money if you can deal with the most unprofessional workplace that exists in finance.

Cons

Overly micromanage. Text messaged from management consistently on my days off pressuring me to come in to work. Harassment and unlawful practices regarding wage and labor laws. Complete disrespect for agents. Disrespectful culture berating agents and implementing scare tactics to encourage production. Even the CEO maintains a perspective that true business people would never join his company. Senior leadership looks for any reason to take away commissions on earned sales as a form of punishment to spark more sales volume. Incentives are misaligned between company goals and agent goals. Company is only concerned with upfront production and cares little for value of business. Very much so a "what have you done for me lately" mentality in management.
