Pros

There are none with Symmetry Financial

Cons

They are the old fashioned pyramid screen of talking honest working people into joining them, selling them bogus leads that are simply public record of new mortgage loans and not an actual inquiry lead to Symmetry to get quotes.

Pros

Decent (expensive) leads that allow the employees with a means of contacting (sometimes) willing clientele.

Cons

They find a way to get as much money out of their employees as they possibly can. Conference is 150, hotel was 190, they charge me 20 dollars for a daily planner that is worth about 3-5 dollars. Leads will cost you 10,000 or more per year, in my experience only the A and 5A leads were worth it. It takes forever to get paid even though they advertise 48 hours or less. They have carriers that have cheaper, more comprehensive products yet only push the 1 or 2 carriers (AA, UHL) that offer them the highest commission (is this really the best way to serve the client?). I first saw this and read some great reviews before I noticed that most all of the reviews were written on the same day, Feb 7 of last year.

Pros

I didn't have to apply with every carrier in order to get appointed with them.

Cons

Too many agents and too few leads. I was told I could ask anyone for help...until I asked to talk to agents in my area. Then I was told that every agent in every state is just the same. That people in every state are just the same. This is not true. I was told the leads were mine but more than 90% of the leads I called had been contacted before. Symmetry run at least 5 simultaneous lead campaigns. Yup 5 so if a home owner returns 5 mailers there are 5 Symmetry agents fighting for the same lead. This didn't work for me!

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience at Symmetry. We work hard to provide support that agents need to get up and running as efficiently as possible. I understand your concern regarding the lead generation process, however, your explanation of this is not completely accurate. We do have multiple campaigns running at the same time so we can make sure to have to fresh leads in our agents hands as quickly as possible. We also have a process to check for duplication among our most recent leads that prevents these leads from being distributed to multiple agents at the same. If you are working with bonus leads there is a possibility that these leads have been contacted previously by a Symmetry agent who was unable to help the customer with the desired protection. Based on the location you have listed in your review I can say that we have numerous agents in your area that are very successful utilizing the Symmetry system that is second to none in the industry. We appreciate your time here with Symmetry and wish you the best of luck as you move forward with your career!
