Pros
Some agents are caring and helpful. Most of the veterans will latch onto you when you are making good sales so they can split the commission with you...there are the epitome of vultures. Management only love you when they also get a slice of the pie, they are the senior vultures. I loved my clients and stayed longer than I should have. Damn near went bankrupt because of the insanity of this career.
Cons
See above, you work 7 days a week, no family life, 100% commission-based, and each year you to pay for leads, $400-500 per month BEFORE you make any sales. It’s like working behind the 8-ball, killing yourself just to get appointments and sales you have to share with trainers, managers. In all the time I was there, 1 trainer took me out on a med sup sale...and wow, I got to share $200 with him. The rest of the time you are door knocking, people hate it when you bother them at home. You also pay for leads, and again try to get appointments on non-stop cold calling. Meetings a few times a week, upper management can be so cruel to people trying to keep themselves above water. Stressful, pressure oriented and you drive your life away.
