Pros

Agents with long work history can be a resource The operations staff locally was strong and helpful Existing clients could be contacted about new products Sales Directors were open to help agents

Cons

The communication about how to submit basic (non-insurance) products was poor from HQ-based service areas. There was management talk to encourage an agent to offer several different products and serve a client's needs with the best fit for them among many product choices. The reality however, was that it took too much time to master the work flow of more than a few products. The most successful agents stuck to one or two products and did their best to master those.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
