Bankers Life reviews

I can't say there is a downside. Sure working on commission in the beginning is not easy. But the longer you're in the business, the easier it gets. There is a lot of work required in the beginning. Not just from a work perspective but from a learning perspective. There is a lot to learn about insurance and sales. If you can afford time in the business, then you'll be successful. You make a lot of phone calls in the beginning. No one likes to do it. But the more referrals you get, the less calls you have to make in the future. You knock a lot of doors, but this also decreases over time, as people in the neighborhood get to know you. You get a lot of No's. But that's sales - Every business has people say "No" to it (buy not buying the products they offer) But you become better at identifying needs, and closing sales. If you end up leaving the business cause you couldn't make enough money to stick around, you will have at least learned a lot about how to prepare for your own future retirement. Like I said, not really a downside. It's just hard work, and not everyone is cut out for it.

Everything else. Pay schedule was confusing and constantly changing. Lead system is the worst in the industry. Ready to cold call 400 numbers a day to have 15 people answer? When the lead system doesn't work out for you, management says you aren't trying. When you first start, you will be happy and enthusiastic. Three months in, and you wish you could set the building on fire. I made more money working minimum wage in two months than I made working here for five.
