Pros

One week training in Chicago, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Some in the class were already insurance agents, so they did well. The program was too fast paced for newbies.

Cons

In Chicago, we learned the pitch for 2 programs which my manager says I shouldn't sell, just focus on the low commission accident plan! After coming home, we were supposed to have a week field training. I got a total of about 16 hours of training two weeks after I was home! Since then, I have met with the manager twice and we were out "sight seeing" two afternoons. One afternoon, there was one presentation! We do not have morning meetings. get a text message almost every night as to how well others are doing. The manager acts like he is afraid of the I-Pad! I suggested Facetime meetings, but he would not go for that. When I call with a problem, I get no answer from the manager, I have to ask someone higher up for a solution. I haven't made enough commission to pay for the gas!

Pros

The training program is unlike any other. If you get the job they will send you off to Chicago for two weeks, you will stay in a Hilton hotel near their training head quarters. They wont let you pass until you learn your job.:) For the first two weeks they give you about 1,000 dollars. Plus 350.00 For expenses while in training. I also heard they started giving out i pads for presentations.

Cons

They give you leads and you can set appointments from them which isn't too bad. The problem is you mostly have to go around to different business and give them a sales pitch. It's like most insurance company's though. Also there is no base pay so if your not very good at selling don't apply here.

Pros

The organization provides excellent training, especially for new insurance agents.

Cons

They are scandalous. Many people have gotten divorced or committed suicide as a result of the stress from this job. The products are crap, the marketing is non-existent, and the expectations are ridiculous. There is no work life balance. They even expected people to work on Christmas day, because you could find large groups of families together and maybe they would all buy insurance from you.... it's the
