Pros

Could have been a good career, if the actuality was anything close to the promises made. The group E&O is not very expensive to maintain, but not the place to park your license or be part-time.

Cons

Dishonest about: Compensation, flat out lied about renewal %. Expenses you are expected to bear, Uncompensated travel, Job description vs actuality, Amount of work that would be assigned, Make your own accounts or no work. Home office tech challenges, very uncommunicative and non-transparent. Non-vesting in commissions until 2.5 to 5 years, Termination will leave you contractually obligated to pay back commissions and you will lose your earned commissions.

Pros

Very inclusive company to work for. Benefits were amazing, culture was amazing, leadership was equally amazing. My direct manager really poured into my development and helping me reach my individual goals.

Cons

The company closed, otherwise I would have spent the rest of my career there.

Pros

None Experienced or observed during my time here

Cons

Extremely unprofessional recruiting and onboarding process with zero accountability. I was recruited directly by this company — I did not apply. Based on assurances from the recruiter, I was encouraged to leave a stable, paying job and submit my two-weeks notice. My original start date was then pushed back into mid-December, which immediately caused financial strain for my family during the holidays. When I was finally placed into my first class, my contract was terminated within the first 40 minutes, without any explanation. I was not given a performance issue, warning, or corrective feedback. The only communication I received afterward was an offer of a letter of recommendation — which does nothing to address the real-world consequences of their actions. As a direct result of this company’s recruitment and sudden cancellation, I was left without income, facing severe financial hardship including vehicle repossession risk and housing instability. When I raised these concerns, the response was simply, “There’s nothing we can do.” This experience demonstrated a complete lack of empathy, responsibility, and ethical consideration — especially troubling for a company operating in the insurance industry, which claims to serve vulnerable populations. The damage caused by their mismanagement has been life-altering. If you value job security, transparency, and basic human decency, proceed with extreme caution.
