Pros

Own your time, flexibility, no max to earnings.

Cons

Expenses, their " great leads" are trash and you end up spending more than you make. Recruiters over exaggerate monthly compensation as a new agent. It takes 5 years to make an actual living. Numbers shown by producers are inflated and do not show what their actual take home is after expenses are deducted in addition to taxes. You will be taxed at 50% of your earnings come tax time so make sure you keep very detailed tracking of mileage and lead costs. You will be responsible for chargebacks within the first year so you can not spend your commission until it is in the books for a year or you can request paid as earned which is advised.

We issued close to $200 million in life sales off of those same "trash" leads in 2020. If someone is not having success it is not due to the lead type. It is due to their inability to be coachable and reach out to their upline for guidance on why they're not having success. We don't inflate our numbers. The producer numbers that we usually talk about are their total issue paid numbers. Everyone has a different comp. level as well as expenses, so to expect us to share each of our agent's comp. level and exact pay is unrealistic. In regards to taxes, yes if you have earned income you will have to pay taxes. Most agents are aware of that since it is common sense. Our agents typically have accountants that help them throughout the year to organize their business expenses and plan accordingly. Every agent will receive some chargebacks. That's completely normal in the insurance industry. However, we train our agents to reduce the amount of chargebacks they might get and because of that 99% of our agent force take advanced commissions. It would be very difficult for an agent to survive on "paid as earned" but that is their choice if they would rather do that. Based on this reviewer's post, it does not seem that they are well educated on how this industry works or how to have success in it.

Pros

None keep your money its a huge scam

Cons

The company itself is horrible training is mediocre. Upline management is trash unless you are making money in which they profit from. They suggest certain lead bank generators to buy from and the leads are 0/1 out of ten. The leads are from lead banks that are owned by the same companies/owners upline managers. It’s nothing but a ponzi scheme. The feds need to investigate big time. They even got #steveyoung to support them

Greed

Pros

Sales training is pretty good.

Cons

American greed has reached new heights. You’ll go in thinking wow what a great group of people working here, but in about 3-6 months you’ll find that almost all are just greedy and deceiving cons. The deception is on another level. For example if they didn’t inflate their reviews here they would maybe have 1/2 a star for the endless you tube sales training videos. But then again they use their sales training videos to mislead what a newbie sold and profited. Also, careful when you quit because your manager will call YOUR clients YOU paid for after 9 months and pitch a new product.
