Pros

Remote job Decent benefits, but nothing great

Cons

Pay is terrible. $13 per hour + little to no commission. The commission structure is extremely top heavy. The only people here who make decent money are the few top agents. They only do well because they are given all the good leads and lower reps are doomed to fight over the scraps nobody wants. There's no way to control your production here. Calls you can take are limited. They tell you all the leads you get are warm leads from people who are seeking out insurance, but they aren't. The leads are all people who were cold called and harassed into staying on the phone by being told lies. Indian call centers farm them and transfer them to us. By the time we get to speak with them they are pissed off and hang up immediately. This is an issue because they only give you 10-15 calls per day and they judge you heavily on your close rate. This company is completely at fault for the failure of their agents. Lead quality is the only thing that matters in this job. Don't work here. You'll make nothing and you'll hate it.
