Fine for work/life balance. Not as good for security.

Pros

Overall, the people were very nice. Usually the days would not last longer than 8 hours, making for a good work/life balance.

Cons

In my time there, there were several large-size layoffs, which made people nervous. It also led to projects being passed around without a lot of documentation and organization to accompany them. While the hours weren't long, working from home was only deemed socially acceptable if you had children. Finally, choices for middle managers often showed heavy signs of favoritism over merit.

Pros

The agents who worked in my office were always very supportive. Fronting managers are great as well. While the pay is low, there is a floor. It's not total commission

Cons

If a customer lapses business written years ago, you get chargeback whether you were paid commission or not. Hard work doesn't guarantee success. You also provide your own gas

Pros

Good salary and bonus program. Use of new technology. Some flexibility in work hours.

Cons

Several reorganizations with a few of them resulting in unemployment. High stress and long hours. Personal Time Off (vacation, sick) is not very generous until you have been there many years.
