Pros

The technology is phenomenal. There is nothing else quite as high tech as Ethos in the life insurance industry. Startup meets life insurance and it's so much faster and efficient than competitors.

Cons

You are on the phone all day trying to get people to pick up their phones but once you get someone to answer, you get a chance to sell them. Technical issues happen but that's just a downside to technology.
