Pros

Income percentages higher than competition and sales process is top notch.

Cons

Trainers train sales staff to manipulate submissions to underwriting, then underwriting holds pricing until sales gives information. Literally a game being played with insurance fraud written all over. Underwriters cancel similar accounts and make exceptions on certain accounts based on who the rep is. Underwriters travel to accounts with reps and if the rep is liked or gives them gifts, they tend to accept deals. Literally one of the reps said, I always take my underwriter to a nice fancy dinner once she sells an account with me. One of the shadiest operations of insurance around. Managers will force you to hold off on selling certain life polices even after they are approved to a certain quarter of the year to hit bonuses. Imagine if that client died while they wait? Clearly no remorse and these targets are coming from the top down.

Pros

This company will ensure that you are set for life. There are amazing benefits, a great salary, and a cheap cost of living. Staying with this company for 20+ years will ensure that you can spend retirement however you please. A great small town vibe, if that is your thing.

Cons

You must be in Owatonna. Federated is trying to build the town up to something more reputable, but there are still some steps to be made. There seems to be no flexibility for new methods from top level management. Old school methods are still king in this company.
