      Pros

      You’re recognized for working hard. The leadership is impeccable. If you’re not okay with average, they will help you to be more than average.

      Cons

      It is hard work and not for the weak

        Pros

        Saw some reviews on here with false statements. I’ve worked here for 6 years and receive health care reimbursement and life insurance. We work hard but the compensation makes it worthwhile. There are advancement opportunities if you want to move up. People that say no benefits and don’t trust the leadership obviously never worked here. My son joined the team last week due to the opportunity. FACT.

        Cons

        None really. All jobs have good and bad days. I like it here.

          Pros

          Can make a decent amount of money if you’re ok misleading clients. Flexible schedule sort of but your mga will probably treat you like an employee rather than a contractor and ruin that as well.

          Cons

          ALMOST EVERY top agent is lying to customers or at the least being very misleading with how they describe things to clients. The leaders at the top are aware of it but care more about numbers and growth than having integrity. Leadership will lie to you during interview and training until you’re already in to deep. The leads are hostile due to the company assigning multiple agents the same leads over and over. So many customers have been contacted 2-4 times already THIS YEAR. Not to mention year after year. Leadership will just blame it on you not getting refs from the bad leads, aka you’re making your own leads anyways. The contract is terrible. You get 60% BUT only on one product. Everything else is lower percentages and if that isn’t enough you only get 65% of the 60%(meaning you’ll get 39% commission on your paycheck IF you sell whole life). The rest of the money goes to your “back end” which most people will never see a dollar from and if you do they still withhold thousands from you in that account which they will pay out to your leader when you leave. I.e. why they don’t care about the turnover bc they’re getting the rest of your contract money.

            Cons

            Not really a con but if your looking for just a 9-5 this is not for you. Must be willing to work extremely hard to maximize the opportunity.

              Pros

              Unlimited growth and income potential. No experience needed coachability, a great attitude and effort can get you a long way. Best leadership I've ever been around. I would recommend to anyone who feels stuck at a position with no growth, lack of income, or is in a negative environment.

              Cons

              To me not a con as long as your ready to work. Short term sacrifice long term gain.

                  Leadership that is always willing to help and be there. From the founders of our agency to the 1st level of management, the leadership team is selfless with their time. Culture that is unmatched.

                  Cons

                  If are not self-motivated or need to be micromanaged to work hard, this might not be the best opportunity for you.

                    Pros

                    No cap. Unlimited overtime. Promotions aren’t based on tenure, they are based on work ethic and skill set. The managers and leadership team are 100% accessible and will coach you according to your goals and career path. You are paid throughout the entirety of your training program.

                    Cons

                    The boot camp phase can sometimes be long hours. However, the goal is to make new reps confident and competent in their new career.

                    Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                    Alex L.

                    Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
