We are pleased to hear from you and receive your positive feedback. Yes, there can be lots of hours during our “busy season” (AEP), but hopefully the opportunity for sales during that time makes it worthwhile. Thank you for your 5-star review!

Great place to work! ONLY Con THE BENEFITS

Pros

Great place to work. The management team is pretty cool. We had multiple managers during AEP and they we’re all great and always there to answer any questions you may have. The commission potential is definitely there. I heard of someone in my department making 11k on their commission check and enrollment agent who supposedly made 50K during AEP. Seems to be a growing company, new job posting is like every other day and so I would guess the advancement is potential is likely too. Your treated like the adult you are not much micromanaging which I love. You slack up that’s your money your losing. Management is also very understanding about time you need off as long as your productive when your there and punctual. Great environment, they feed you during AEP, you have ping pong tables, gym, etc...

Cons

AEP is a little exaggerated. You hear of people who in the past made 25K or more during AEP as sales agents but with so much growth there’s more agents to share those leads with, not saying it’s impossible but chances are slim especially during your first AEP. When you ask agents whose been there for years they definitely agreed AEP was not the same in 2019 as it was in previous years. Benefits are not good. Definitely not for a company who offers a wide range of insurance carriers to clients. You’d think Blue Cross Blue Shield would give them some special deal or something but apparently not. For a whole family it’ll be $1,300 per month out your check. I’ve been in sales my whole life that’s the worse I’ve seen. If you have a family that’s like half your regular check.

Pros

Great immediate managers, knowledgeable and understanding. The coworkers are all great and it is a family type of environment. We get food every week, and there are prizes given for sales and promotions.

Cons

Terrible Sales Director. Has not sold one policy in his life, does not care about the sales reps, they are all a number to him. The corporate management along with the finance management have managed to systematically replace all the seasoned sales agents with new ones by setting up a tier system where only about 20 percent of the salesforce makes great money, the turnover is very high (they are ok with the turnover). If you say anything wrong they will faze you out into non existence, by slowly cutting your lead flow and quality of leads (this is when good agents just end up leaving). Agents are not allowed to say what is wrong or have an opinion, it is just a metric number system to corporate management, they could care less who you are. They also require all agents to sell other products (id theft and home warranty) or you get your commission lowered. This company is night and day from 4 years ago, again you are just a number as an agent. They have allowed to just have sales cancelled for an infinite amount of reasons just to keep the commission in house. Many newly hired agents leave within 90 days from being on the floor, as a new agent you get nothing to sell, just renters insurance, you cannot sell the good companies. If you are looking to feel like a underpaid robot come work at selectquote. The corporate office was going to send a survey to rate management and when they found out the management reviews would be terrible they never sent the survey. They want to pay you like if you work at a fast food restaurant but they want to demand work as if you work at Microsoft.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We are sorry that you did not have a positive work experience, even if this may seem a cookie cutter response for you. We wish you all the best and we certainly hope that you have better opportunities ahead of you.
