Pros

Training is very good. The company pays for your life, health and NASD licensing.

Cons

Low Hanging Fruit... Solicit Insurance products to Friends and Family, and then your on your own after that to sell insurance product to everyone else. When you don't make your sales numbers, you get warning letters on top of warning letters. Then you eventually quit because your not making any money. You spend lots of time and your own money marketing and pushing insurance products to just about any one alone. Not a team environment! The office even wants you to pay for photo copies and faxes. Then after a certain amount of time, you have to pay for your office space. Work Life balance is very bad. You spend all of your time going from house to house chasing potential clients. More than half does not show up for appointments. Insurance products are more expensive compared to other companies. Most of the time, the client finds less expensive coverage else where. Compliance office is very very strict. When you no longer work for this company, they now have your friends and family accounts and they re hire someone in your place to get their friends and family accounts. High turn over... Revolving Door. They make more money from you, then you from them.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
