Pros

The new office building is lovely, the training is extensive and fun (especially if you're competitive), and lots of meals are provided. The trainers do a great job getting new agents excited for AEP and you leave training motivated and knowledgeable.

Cons

Absolutely everything else the recruiters and trainers say is a lie. You can make good money if you're one of the very, very few people getting Tier One leads. If not, good luck making rent. It's almost impossible to move up a tier, even though that's not what you're told. If you can do math, you can figure out how to get bumped back up, and it's about as likely as getting struck by lightening. Maybe even less likely. And if you have the bad luck of getting too many callers who don't understand who they're calling, or already have the best insurance for them, or live in a state where you can't help them, you're going to drop a tier. Most of the "inbound calls" you'll get in tier two are people calling for other agents that you have to transfer, or people who were dialed by another company and don't want to talk to you. The agents who are successful here are willing to be very pushy, or even straight up lie to elderly people to get them to buy. You're told there will be so many options for you with the company after AEP, but that's not true either. The few agents who are still there are miserable, struggling, and dropping like flies. If you have a conscious, you're going to struggle here. And if you have bills to pay or kids to feed, and can't wait on a complicated, ever-changing commission schedule, this is not the place for you.

Pros

I have enjoyed every moment so far working for this company; I love it here. A growing company where there is ample opportunity to grow with it, if you show a strong work ethic and put in the necessary effort to succeed at your position. Management team truly cares and is known to go above and beyond for their employees. Commissioned employees stand to make a good living if they put the effort in to meet goals and objectives. Work-life balance can be achieved. The office has a work hard, play hard mentality. Free food on a regular basis, monthly and quarterly appreciation events.

Cons

Some divisions working through commission structure Base salary is on the low side You have to work to earn your commissions; this is not a place where you can rest on your laurels and still expect a big paycheck.

Pros

My supervisor was very easy to work with in regards to absences, needing to leave early/come in late, ect. She truly cared about you as a person outside of work.

Cons

The health benefits were terrible. At one point, to save the company money, they made us contribute even more money out of pocket for not so great benefits and they even took away several days of our PTO that we could accumulate. The pay was awful. How anyone who wasn’t an agent afford to work there and live in the Bay Area, I’ll have no idea. The yearly raises were an absolute joke. A big motivator for me leaving was that I simply couldn’t afford to work here anymore. My team took advantage of me being a hard worker. No action was taken against people who did not show up to work (I believe some of these employees are still with the company, too). I had absolutely no room to advance within the company. Certain people wanted me to stay exactly where I was and this made things extremely difficult in the event an opportunity did come up. When I applied for other jobs and they called to do an employment verification, they DID NOT keep it confidential. I didn’t get to tell my supervisor I was moving on, because they had already tattled on me and she knew about it when I told her. Thanks for the job when I needed it, SQ, but I’ve moved on to a company that I feel cares more about me and actually shows it.
