Pros

The pay rate is fairly good and if you are able to exceed the set expectations and sell a lot, the monthly commission is a great motivator. The core values that are taught and posted all over are well written and provide integrity for the company.

Cons

Management pressures you to sell, and sets unrealistic quotas that seem to favor only the company. Stress levels are high because the threat of losing your job is constantly a risk if you are not pushing the product. Sometimes the calls you receive are bad, and seemingly impossible to market anything when the majority of callers are complaining about the bills.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
