Pros

Set your own hours and schedule, decent company benefits, good brand name, unlimited income potential, good variety of products to sell, good access to existing and new product information through webinars and website.

Cons

Difficult to achieve the company's recognition conferences by selling to the average middle income client, and the bar just keeps getting raised every year. Being charged for office expenses when they should already be factored out of any commissions they pay FSR's. Having your commission percentage being reliant on previous sales volume and renewal volumes, and commissions held in a non interest bearing account and distributed weekly @ 10% of total account value.

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.
