Western & Southern Life reviews

If you are interested in serious financial career pursuits or professional insurance agencies, this is not your pick. I have now worked in both the field and in Mgmt. It’s a typical corporate environment, but with the added bonus of not being very progressive. (Women, beware!) Not surprisingly, people in positions of power say and do whatever they please (at the expense of good employees). Not to mention the use of antiquated systems, processes and expectations that change almost weekly (so they can chastise or put employees on notice at will) and the cheap setup of (most) offices in the field. Mistreatment of field employees (including HR violations), coupled with idolization of management figures results in toxic environments.

The average weekly income is a lie, because they have veteran Reps that make the average higher. Newer reps struggle. Management only has a limited window to train and help you because they are constantly hiring new Reps due to large turnover rate. You pay out of pocket to be allowed to sell Group Health and Disability. Unless you exploit friends and family you will not make any money. The Book of Business you are given by management is garbage and has already been cherry picked by the tenured reps. Series-6 is a mandatory thing, not just because of company "policy", but because that is all management wants to push. They are forcing Salesforce integration company-wide, but no one knows how to properly use it...including the company trainers. Morals are preached about there, but company wants you to lie to clients to close sales.
