Pros

Good training, legitimate opportunity, not a scam. They do treat employees well if you do the work.

Cons

Straight up, this is door to door sales. Dont let any of the managers try to tell you any different. Thats why I left. If I would have been told it was door to door sales in the beginning, I would have walked away right then and there. They try to use words like "canvassing", but it is just door to door sales. And yes combined, there is a difference between canvassing and door to door. In my opinion if a product cant achieve success through drawing customers in, but instead have pushy salesman strong arming people into signing, then the product just isnt worth it. Also, this is a commission only position, which many people like. Being an insurance agent is SUPPOSED to be like running your own business. You decide how/when/where you want to work. Not with Combined. They will tell you when to work. They will also tell you when you need to be on a conference call, when you need to drive for 2 hours to attend a "training" meeting, even though the training could be done on your own time, they just want to see you role play the sales pitch with other agents. All of this without earning any wages, because remember you are commissioned only. And did I mention this is door to door sales? I feel like that is an important fact that is not disclosed up front with this company.
