Cons

- If you’re driven to be a successful sales professional ethos sadly is not the place for you. -You’ll have insecure, unorganized and inexperienced managers who want to hover over you all day. -Managers don’t care for feedback -Managers will use constant borderline emotionally abusive passive aggressive comments to try to drive you. I’d recommend getting hair loss medication before starting this job -I was told by a manager “you’ve been average” after finishing #1 and #3 on my team of roughly 17 people in sales back to back months. -Management will constantly let you know how replaceable you are and how they’ve been interviewing great candidates for the team. I was told by a manager “there’s an expiration date on every life insurance agent”… you are a perishable commodity to them -I started at ethos in July 2021 and my team didn’t have a single person quit the first 6 months I was there. Since January 2022 when new management came in, over half of the team has quit
