Pros

Basically nothing. There were some very good, kind and genuine people in my Zoom tracking class. But my time was short, as I was let go after not passing my licensing exam on the first try.

Cons

Pretty ironic and telling that after I had been dealing with a personal health issue, a company with “Health” in the title wouldn’t be even try to be understanding with and would offer a second chance to retake my exam. Heads Up: if you fail your licensing exam by more than 10 points, you will be fired. In training, it is never once explicitly stated that you only get one chance to pass and you will be terminated and there is nothing you can do. I couldn’t have felt more disposable of an employee than I did in that moment. What else? The base pay is honestly laughable. I made more during my first entry level position post college over 5 years ago. Even though I was only in the office for one day, the coworkers I met an interacted with were all miserable, Pretty unimpressive and less than stellar health plan choices. You have 2 options. If you think by working for an insurance company that you’re also going to have a great insurance, you are sadly mistaken. Just endless asinine technological problems. Complete lack of any and all transparency in anything that’s actually being discussed among top leadership

All sales agents are informed about the pay, licensing, and testing expectations with the company upon being hired. Agents are informed during training if they are eligible to retake their licensing exam based on their performance during that time. Thank you for your feedback and best of luck with your next role.
