Demanding hours with blackout periods for vacation time. Seasonal commission structure.

The sales position is mentally draining and depressing. Keep in mind you are talking to elderly people all day, most don’t have a clue what’s going on. The majority of calls are outbound transferred from third parties which they consider inbound. The marketing is very deceiving, you’ll have people calling for things you know you can’t offer unless they live in poverty but they expect you to turn it into a sale anyway. Expect you to switch peoples medicare plans to make a sale when most people were already on good plans. The top performers are switching 5 Medicare plans a day based on lies for sure. The true ups we’re exaggerated and they cut a large portion of your commission. If you need a job to survive then I’d say go for it, but I wouldn’t leave another job for the sales position. There are never any other positions open either unless you’re an engineer or a senior level position.
