Sales - Personal account rep
Pros
Good experience and a great starter job. My team was awesome. The hours were great 8:30-5 with a hour lunch. My agent paid for my licensing.
Cons
It is a sales job.. You are selling insurance, no one likes to be cold called about insurance. If you get hired on for a sales position you will most likely be doing tons of service as well which really hurts because the base salary for a sales person is low. You rely heavily on commission but spend a lot of your time doing service work.... There are tons of things that customers will call angry about, if you don't have thick skin I would stay away. The turnover is horrendous also which puts more work on your shoulders. Also the insurance rates will determine how successful you are which is totally out of your control. The systems are so far outdated it is not funny.
