Combined Insurance Employee Reviews about "door to door"

Pros

Great products and income potential ... If you are flexible in the hours and days of the week you are available to work. You must be comfortable with cold calling ... Definitely!

Cons

To many chiefs ... so easy for agents to blame the managers for not providing the proper training when they can't sell or motivate themselves to get out and do the activities required to be successful ... Working on strictly commission can be a rough life ... So it's a revolving door of agents for the most part

Pros

I've enjoyed working at Combined primarily because of it's culture and the career progression opportunities I've been afforded. Combined and the rest of the Chubb familiy embrace a meritocratic mindset: you will be rewarded if you perform well. As an employee, it is encouraging to know that a company will recoginize your hard work. Additionally, Combined is a company that promotes learning. The leadership team has an 'open door' policy that encourages employees to ask questions. Combined also does a great job of promoting work/life balance. Whether it's through office events (e.g. ice cream social, bbq, holiday party) or community engagment, Combined has shown that they value what employees do outside of their office/cubicles. The leadership team here is dynamic and really in-tune to consumer and industry trends. I believe they have a good short term and long term strategic vision for the company. I've seen a cultural shift (for the better) when the new leadership came on board in 2012. I see great things for Combined in the future.

Cons

Benefits (i.e. salaries) are below market value

Pros

Policy products and overall premiums

Cons

Door to door; ineffective and unreliable supervisor

Pros

Not A whole lot of pros with this company. They do give you freedom to make your own schedule but that's about it.

Cons

The extensive 'sales training' is nothing more than memorizing a pitch so that you can go door to door and be shut down countless times. Extensive travel to market meetings usually 2-3 hours away from my location without receiving any compensation for them. Very poor management. Managers would ride together to make sales while they left the new agents to struggle by themselves. Beware of chargebacks aka they will take your whole paycheck. It's basically a pyramid scheme without being called that.

Pros

Flexible schedule but long hours to make any money. Can learn a lot about insurance.

Cons

When policies were cancelled you were charged back for them. Forced to do door to door insurance sales. Daily rah rah meetings every morning.

Pros

pay, benefits, great 401k,advancement opportunity is great

Cons

long hours, travel, door to door sales,

Pros

unlimited income, great products, sales support, good overall company, customers service is overall very good. senior management is very supportive of your personal goals

Cons

100% door to door business, very little good lead base, no team work, co-workers going on my new face accounts that were created my production

Pros

can make a lot of money if you are okay with cold calling and a lot of door to door sales

Cons

cold calling and door to door sales can be tough

Pros

Small tiny salary for three weeks and quick cash peddeling cancer and accident insurance policies to mostly poor,and uneducated blue collar workers like at sanitation departments: most of the public does not have much use for these products. they have a deep client base that they have established over the years so the old face you can quickly hit up and sell them more products to for some fast commision cash!

Cons

old customers old face have been so beaten up with sales calls from all the combined insurance agents over the years that when you contact them they yell at you and hang up the phone or throw you out of their business! for new business it is a lot of door to door sales like aluminum siding sales from the 1950,s The best thing if you want to see what a typical work day is like here go rent the movie Tin Man starring Danny Devito! managers only care about qiuck hit them up daily sales. they micro manage and expect to be called every night before nine pm with sales results. even if there is a hurricane and power black out they still want you to call before nine they are NEUROTIC!! go watch the movie the Crazies there are the distric and territory managers!

Pros

Uncapped Commissions, Exciting trips to win

Cons

Resedential selling insurance door to door
