Pros

The majority of my fellow associates were great people to be in the office with. There was growth going on at the time I enlisted with the company and we had faces moving and coming in so it kept us excited that there might be some new management opportunities in the beginning.

Cons

I worked there for six months. In that time I had four different managers, and five different locations. There was never any time to build a client base, and even with that time the areas I was in were so poverty stricken that it didn't matter if i gave the presentation of my life to these people they would buy and then a month of two later cancel. When they cancel you loose everything and anything you made on the sale, and i mean immediately. No warning it gets taken directly out of your bank account without your knowledge, and it isn't until after the fact you even found out in your reports that they were gonna take it. They don't tell you in the beginning that it is a commission based job in total. I was promised a salary and all these benefits, and when the time came for put up or shut up I was paying for everything but the company paperwork. The manager that hired me was involved with a misrepresentation scandal where he had not only hired me, but another five people under false promises and pretenses. The second manager I was with took me to a house during training and left me to do a presentation to a woman she had seen the previous week and pissed off. I was in the home for about 15 minutes with the lady until she respectfully declined and I went out and had to walk a mile down a gravel road and waited on the highway for nearly an hour and a half before my manager came back to pick me up. She had things to do and apparently my training wasn't important. My third manager was with me all of a week before I was bounced to another, and finally had some stability and working understanding with this one but by then I was about spent. Being moved from location to location all I did was place a ton of child safe boxes, which is the main way they swindle a lot of appointments. I also was hired because I knew the people and the area I was in and no one there did, and i was constantly pushed to call on family and friends multiple times to buy, buy, buy, which nearly cost me a ton of friendships and respect in the process.

Pros

Great opportunities for promotion, good pay (if you are good with sales), good benefits. Management is always willing to help you if you need it.

Cons

Too many expected hours, spend the first 3-4 weeks unpaid while working 40+ hours. Unless doing internship they do not pay for your insurance license. The sales process is almost a con (probably like any insurance job).

Pros

Enjoyed the people that were trying to make their dream come true with this 'opportunity'. Had a good time in the field with these individuals.

Cons

Terrible results after 2 months and I have been at the top of some very large corporate companies in the career in sales. Very difficult sale and almost robotic in that you have to completely memorize a 'script' that you must know ver batum.
