Current Employee – been working at American Income Life full-time for more than a year
Pros – The opportunity working with my management team is amazing. They truly care about my success and put in the effort into helping with my career. The opportunities are endless and I have helped so many families and found in my career. Since I have been work with American income life, I have been promoted to 2 different levels of management and have provided several jobs and have promoted another manager underneath of me. The pay, travel, benefits, people and to be given the opportunity to prove my worth based on my merits are just a few pro for being a part of this amazing company.
Cons – Not finding out about this company earlier. I wasted 10 years working at a D.C. for walmart. I could have retired from american income by now.
Advice to Senior Management – Just keep doing what you guys and gals know best.

Current Employee – been working at American Income Life full-time for more than a year
Pros – Leads are given to you, albeit once a month (which you run out of quickly). If you're single and have plenty of money to sit on while you're going through your rough patches, which you will, this JOB is perfect for you.
Cons – They say that the leads are 'wanting' the life insurance. However, the leads are just signing up for no-cost benefits and YOU will bait and switch them to buy life insurance. Sometimes you get lucky and they actually want it. Most of the time they're angry with you for trying to sell them something. One week you will make $600, the next you will make $0. They say these benefits are exclusive to union members, but that is NOT the case. You ask for referrals in every household, most of the people do not want to give you any. This is a textbook pyramid scheme company... You start out working 70-80 hours a week to (if you're lucky) make $600. The longer you stay there, they will like your 'loyalty' and promote you to have some producers under you. The turnover is higher than any fast food restaurant because people who have wives or kids cannot spend their Mondays and Thursdays calling people in the office from 10am to 9pm. But if you don't do this, you will never make it. HALF of the appointments you set up will not be at their houses when you get there. Here's the numbers game you will deal with: If you can actually make 8 appointments a day (which is actually very difficult for T,W,F,SA,SU) half of them will not show up. Of those half, you will sell 1/4. Of those 5 sales (again, if you're lucky and if you want to work every day of the week because M and T are office days and calling days) you will have 2 trials, which you will not get paid on for 2 months. Of the other 3 sales, at least one will cancel. So working 70-80 hours a will will yield you 30% commission. The average sale is $600. So normally an agent will make roughly $400/week until they just can't afford it anymore due to gas costs, or their family just can't handle them being gone for such long hours.
Advice to Senior Management – Tell people the TRUTH when you're interviewing them. The leads DO NOT want life insurance. In fact, a member called their president over the phone while I was there and I was told that AIL places the union members' logo on top of the cards they fill out to receive the no-cost benefits. It gives AIL more credibility to bait them like this.
