Absolute Ripoff

Pros

None to speak of if you know anyone in the mortgage insurance industry. There are so many other better companies than them, they are a company that spends more time working on their ads to attract people than paying them.

Cons

They lie about the cost of leads which are marked up before they are sold to agents. Commission rates are way below industry average and are much higher with most other companies. If anyone compared them to other mortgage insurance agencies no one would work for them. They have been trying to get a foothold in CT for years but can't find anyone to make money off of because it's a scheme and ripoff. They are a southern company and are trying to expand and find young immature ignorant people to hire other people, and when you finally discover how bad you've been ripped off .... And they say one of the best companies to work for. Ha! No benefits, no stability, you must sell every day and your manager is getting 60% of everything you make but they are lying when they say it's not true. Don't waste your time or money, . Don't work for them , with every policy you ever sell you are being ripped off .They make you listen to conference calls all week long about people in other states down south a complete waste of time. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. Every month people are quitting because they can't afford the leafs then get paid very little commission. They start you at 55% then 60.% and milk you along. I worked for a company who gave 75% and paid for all leads,! Look at other companies if you want to sell mortgage insurance, you will find them. Good luck and stay away from this company! Remember this company is in business to make money FROM you.

Pros

It's not cleaning toilets at Taco Bell.

Cons

MLM at its worst. Run, don't walk from this company. It is cult-like & the biggest line of bs you will ever encounter. You will work crappy 5 year old leads & you will still have to pay for them. Once you become "good enough" to get fresher leads you will pay out the nose. They will suck you in by telling you it is part-time, but to realy succeed you will have to work 60+ hours per week consistently. Because they push "building" & pressure you to create a downline, the market is over saturated and you will find yourself having to drive 3+ hours away for appointments. The dudes at the top of the pyramid become millionaires while the struggling folks at the bottom can barely keep food on the table.

Pros

You set your own work hours so your schedule can be extremely flexible. Possibly good income potential if you’re into trying to be the top of an MLM.

Cons

Where to start? First and foremost, it’s a pyramid scheme. You make 60% commission on any policies you write up, your “manager” gets the rest. Their solution, the way they coach you to make higher commissions, is to sell more and then bring on an agent of your own, and then when THEY sell a policy, you get 15% of their commissions. It’s a pyramid scheme by definition, with those at the top raking it in while those at the bottom struggle to make ends meet. Second, their leads are sketchy. They claim there’s no cold calling because everyone who you call had already sent in a mailer asking for more info. If that’s the case, why did 100% of the people I called not recall filling anything out. The lead info contains their mortgage company, term, and rate, and the customer has no recollection of every authorizing Symmetry to get that information. To sum up everything, this could be a good place for you. If you’re motivated to bully people into life insurance policies, have $10k+ in savings to live on because you won’t make a dime for the first 3-5 months, and don’t mind telling your friends and family that you’ve joined the bottom step of a pyramid scheme.
