Pros

The work you do for Guardian makes a real differnce in peoples lives. Children will go to college, people will retire, and dreams will be achieved all because of the work you do.

Cons

This job is as tough as it gets. You have to prospect constantly if you want to make it. People are very reluctant to talk about money after the market crash. There is no salary at all, it's 100% commission. This leads to many FR's being very stressed out all of the time. This also makes for little little family time.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
