Pros

Sales school is top notch While I would not recommend to a friend, it is a great entry level sales job to learn how to sale Products are very strong, especially accident policy Freedom to set own schedule W2 employee, so taxes are done and benefits are available, but expensive

Cons

Cold-call selling door to door residential is vicious No training on how to build B2B business Very hard to compete in B2B settings - will lose to the Duck more often than not 100% commission Chargebacks - and there will be lots of them. You may find yourself in the negatives frequently and being without a decent paycheck for weeks at a time No support in the field, even with a good TM. Tons of meaningless meetings and rallies that waste time/money/energy Turnover rate is very high; company places no value on employee retention. Average new hire lasts less than six months. No expense reimbursement at all Underwriting is very slow Claims are even slower Life and disability policies aren't priced competitively at all. Absolutely no name recognition as the company does no advertising; actually had a client question whether or not this was a scam while filling out the application. Doing the right thing for the customer isn't always the idea, going against their corporate mantra; helping a customer to get out of an old policy that no longer makes any sense and putting them into a better new product is not only frowned upon, it can cost you your job.

Thank you for taking the time to review our company and for mentioning that our “sales school is top notch.” It is our aim that our Agents will learn the fundamentals of great selling and then stay with us throughout their career, but it’s true that sales is not for everyone. We have an array of products for Agents to offer to their clients. In fact, we have been recognized by the Ward Group on its annual Ward’s Top Performing Life-Health Insurance Companies for the past six years. We are always striving to improve and we appreciate your feedback. We will share this with leadership. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
