Pros
Advise provided the Medicare training and tools needed to sell to clients.
Cons
Advise hosted Medicare seminars to generate new business leads and direct mailings to patients at doctor's offices they partner with. As an licensed agent, you were told most of the meetings would be at the doctor's office, but in reality 90 percent were in people's homes. Another draw back, they do not reimburse for actual mileage for these appointments. A stipend is provided, but does not cover the actual expenses incurred if you're driving to 5 appointments in one day.
The technology they claim is proprietary is not unique--agents relied heavily on the Medicare.gov web site.
The leads were not thoroughly vetted to weed out those retirees with excellent group-sponsored retiree coverage. However, you were expected to sell them on an individual plan anyway even though it was not in the person's best interest.
