Pros

They have a lot of food options

Cons

I work for IPA. I am not an employee that no longer works here so when I saw someone say things are great now that all the whiners are gone I knew someone was asked to do a review. I actually know who it was that wrote that bogus review but I won't name call. All I will say is that IPA is not a good place to work. All the good people left due to them not being appreciated and and not getting paid. There is no repsect in this office. The owner of the company talks down to the HR staff and yells at employees. He has a quick temper and gets mad without even knowing what is fully going on in his own work place due to not being there. Pretty much he ends up looking like the idiot he really is. The review above was correct. IPA couldn't even pay to keep there lights on so one of the employees had to whip out her check book to keep the lights on in the building. The only reason the owner of IPA Mark Hunt is showing up to work now is because He is losing people left and right. We used to have meetings and now we don't. There was one woman who literally let managment know that they are going to lose people because of how they treat the sales agents. She was like the only one whoever spoke up and she had a target on her back because of her honesty. So if they ask you how you feel about your job you have to lie because Mark says he wants the truth but can't handle it. I hate working here honestly. If I could find another job I would. If I could find all the other workers jobs I would, but I need to find one first.

Pros

The few good people that really did care about helping you become successful as possible (which is not very successful.) The catered lunches were nice and the flexibility allowed to deal with your personal life, there was a few individuals especially the office manager that really cared and saw the employees as people and not dollar signs.

Cons

I felt like my entire employment was a con and I wish that I followed my gut during my first week of employment and got out. I, as many different employees who have quit or been fired, have spoken up stating we were promised a license reimbursement fee of $250.00 after we completed the class and obtained our state license and that was a lie. I accepted a position at $8.00 because I was sold on the job by someone who only knows how to sell and is very good at doing it but very bad on training it. We were promised training the week after we received our state licenses but instead we were thrown in the shark tank and reprimanded when desired success was not achieved. The promised training did not occur for an entire month but our sales expectation of $75,000 in 90 days was not being extended. If you like a job where you make minimum money for minimum work then this is the job for you because all you do is sit at an extremely tiny cubicle and talk to voicemails, the same voicemails over and over and over again (that was not an exaggerated effect but the truth.) If you don't quit, expect to be fired because the turn over rate is extremely high.

Pros

Catered food once a week or every two weeks. A few people are nice and they are flexible with your schedule if you have something going on.

Cons

The training that is given to you to perform this job is horrible. This company lies about how much money you will be making because of the sales you don't actually get! This job is extremely boring and you speak to about 95% of voice mails everyday. They led me to think that I would be making the same amount money at my previous workplace and instead they put me into a hole because they start you off at $8 an hour. They told us that after we got our 02-15 insurance license we would have the $250 that we paid, reimbursed to us, which is another lie. They say you make about 4-5 sales a week and everyone made about 2 if your lucky. The management does not know how to talk to people and yells from time to time if a sale is lost. The training is a complete joke. The quality of leads that you get are awful because you talk to the same voicemail you did in the morning as you did in the evening. They can honestly sell you on how much money you can make but its complete b.s. because the only sales person that makes a lot has been doing this for 30 years. They have only been open for a year and their turn over rate is extremely high because people tend to leave when they learn they've been mislead or they let them go because they were not trained properly. They find resumes on indeed and then feed you this presentation on the job that is full of complete lies. Beware of this company because I wish I had someone to warn me, that I would be making very minimal money.
