Pros

100% Freedom, no pressure. 100 % Flexible work/life balance They do provide some client leads to do business but not enough leads to survive though. A lot of the clients that they provide as leads are existing clients that normally only need help solving service issues. Again, these are very minimum leads not many. You migh get a few brand new leads but not many. Not enough for your monthly production.

Cons

Everyone is way too independent and not very helpful. Very poor training program, I won't recomend this to anyone who needs a consistent monthly income. This job is mostly for a college graduaded kid that has no financial pressure or for someone that has been in the business for many years and has a lot of old clients from previous employers. Getting started is when challenges starts. You have to be after everyone to get your process started as they have no rush to get you running. If you have a question while working or you need assistance, good luck sending an email or calling someone. People don't reply to your emails, neither they return your calls. From getting your finger prints to phone access, system access and business cards, you better push because it could be easily 6 months before you are up and running. They are NOT in a rush. Also there is no time guidance or any other type of guidance for you to become a successful Avisor. They do provide some allowance money not a salary. Overall, if I was you, I would try to find another job.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
