Pros

Benefits on day one, almost 4 weeks of vacation 1st year, decent hourly pay, flexible schedules, ability to work from home

Cons

Commision plan is completely bias, best case scenario you can make $20 per policy, this is totally dependent on how many sales you make in refence to how many calls you take, they also take every last cent away from you if less than 90% of your policies stay on the record for 60 days

Pros

Good balance of work/home life. Good coworkers, you build strong relationships with the people you work with.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive. The attitude of management is be "thankful for what you got". No support for employee growth (no $$ because off TARP) to allow for taking classes etc. Maybe if you're in IT you have a better shot but good luck as most of IT is outsourced.
