Pros

-7 weeks of salary -Great training program -Great marketing materials and resources

Cons

-The office I worked at was extremely unethical. Manager went with me on an appointment and strong armed a client into filling out two apps, but assured them there would be no money collected, and then proceeded to turn in the apps the next day with HIS OWN MONEY. to get the policies through. Client had no clue. -Management also had me fill in appointments I never had on my schedule just to make sure I had 12 so that upper management wouldn't do an audit. This is just the tip of the ice burg. There are a lot of people who get promoted to management here that just aren't ethical. -Too much mandatory UNPAID time in the office doing busy work that won't make you money.

Pros

Training can be found online if you have a new or poor manager

Cons

Managers are promoted too quickly to be of use to new agents and seasoned agents who want to expand their business. Bringing out products like the Ultralife and then denying those clients who signed contracts that the company which made the glitch, the client will pay for it.. Instead they should have honored Ultralife contracts that were written and make changes to future contracts. That was shady and iresponsible - lossed ALOT of respect for company not taking responsiblity. Mandatory schedules and NO FLEXIBILITY Micromanagement Constant tracking of applications because home office and districts have delays and mistakes. Forgetting that its long time clients that are the foundation and relationships separated this company from others.
