Great people, no pay

Pros

Great ppl and wonderful sales training

Cons

not enough pay. All clients buy is term life and term life policies are abput 150 bucks in commission. So even to make $3000 a month, that is about 30 closed policies to sell. It is impossible to survive. I work 12 hour days and then go to part time job. Maybe make 1 client every 3 weeks. No training on products, just how to sell.

Pros

None. Horrible company culture. Absolutely no loyalty to their employees. They will chew you up and spit you out. I witnessed them let go of people who've been there 25+ years for absolutely no good reason. What does that say? Give them your all--your hard work, loyalty and dedication--for absolutely nothing. I've never been so disgusted with a company. I knew it was time for me to leave because I didn't want this to happen to me years down the road.

Cons

Too many to count. See above.

Pros

Flexible hours, head managing partner was very friendly and supportive, but simply unable to offer that level of support to everyone. One other managing partner was excellent.

Cons

Don't buy into the hype. The interview is full of best case scenarios. They will say anything to get you in the door. They frame it as a job about helping people and doing what is right for them, but in private scheme to find ways to dupe potential clients.
