Pros

Upscale facilities in convenient location. Very comprehensive training program. Frequent social events within office. Computer/tech issues were frequent, but IT staff was always very responsive.

Cons

"Temp-to-hire" nature of job not disclosed until after hire. More than 50% of new agents were terminated before end of training. I made it through training but found income potential to be grossly misrepresented. In most cases, the opportunity simply wasn't there due to poor quality of company-provided "leads", and agents were not allowed to do their own prospecting. Extreme micro-management. Supervisor was a fresh graduate with no management experience.

Pros

Great benefits! Great, wonderful benefits!!! (for the 6 months you will be there)

Cons

People of Kansas City - don't fall for this!!! This is absolutely a temp job!!! Management will repeatedly tell you otherwise! Temp job!!! Temp job!!! Temp job!!! And the leads - wow- only a choice few are given the real leads to have the opportunity to make money. Very few people are given the opportunity to get real leads. Medicare health sales are easy to close because everybody needs them. But only the chosen few are given the opportunity to sell! Don't work here thinking you have just landed a fantastic job for the rest of your life! It is a temporary job!!! The training is a joke but you do get up to speed once you are on the phones in September of each year. Their top sales people are the trainers. Top sales does not make a trainer, or even a good one. A couple of "trainers" are condescending, belittling and even make degrading comments to, and about people, in front of others. You will be hired for Monday - Friday 8 to 5... but during the Medicare Open Enrollment you will be berated and pressured to work until late evening hours including weekends. They will deny that they hire for Mon - Fri 8 to 5. When you get laid off - only finally there on the paperwork does it clearly state that this is a temp and seasonal job. Only the friends of existing employees make it here.
