Pros

Overtime available. Company encourages education and growth. My department encourages associates to grow and better themselves no matter what direction you may move within the company.

Cons

Like any company some departments are better to work in than others. The only thing I am not a fan of would be the high deductable health plan offered to associates.

Pros

As an insurance agent, it's nice to be able to work inside (regardless of the weather) and have a quasi-predictable schedule. This is an inside call center job with above average pay, including sales incentives. They have great benefits, including 3 weeks vacation per year. I made great money, but I was a top producer. During my best year, I made almost $100k (gross). I seriously doubt that anyone makes anywhere near that anymore because of several changes that occurred after I left.

Cons

Because most of the business that we did was related to Medicare (a Federal Government program), it concerned me to know that our futures (includng salaries and commissions) could be affected by a changing political climate. However, if you think about it, no job is "secure" in that regards. This is a call center job, and most employees are friendly, but after I worked there for a few years, I became burned out. I can only cold-call and take inbound sales calls for so long before I lose my mind. The job can be extremely stressful at times. This is primarily because your customers are the Senior population, and you have to make sure that you cover all of your bases to stay compliant with Federal guidelines. Many customers do not have the patience to listen to you make sure that you are doing everything correctly. There is quite a bit of pressure from both the customer and the company, and you are caught in the middle. All of your calls are recorded, and if you make a mistake, it could mean losing your insurance license and your career.

Pros

Decent advancement opportunities, fast growth, job security, clear expectations, benefits and pay are inline with averages for the area. Nice workplace and good people

Cons

growth has outpaced employment, so expect to work mandatory overtime. This is issue is being worked on, but has been worked on for the last 6 months or so, with little change. However, in this economy, one shouldn't complain too loudly about being too busy and having too much work... but how many months do you want to put in 50+ hours weeks?
