Pros

They have been around a long time, and do provide company benefits. Training is good when you start off.

Cons

Once training is over, they get right down to setting expectations and you MUST meet them (a specific combination of products) in order to keep your job. They give you two weeks, or let you go! I even had COVID during my first two weeks and kept working even though I told HR I had COVID and had the test results to show it. I felt HORRIBLE and kept working, and even then still got laid off right outside of 2 weeks of training! There were about 20 of us let go that day, on Jan 3rd! They have no guts no glory....and you're a number of the masses. In the next round my friends that made it through the first layoff, increased the expectations. In the second round, several of my friends were let go. I have told other insurance agents since then DO NOT apply at SelectQuote if you want a company who cares. I really said so many positive things about them until then. They do not care about their agents. They only care about what YOU will do for them. Other companies will give you more time to ramp up your sales and percentages and make it more possible to stay. Find those companies. Also, the marketing is so messed up! Retires call in, who can't even afford to eat! The marketing says they can get FREE Life Insurance, and it's NOT FREE. So you have to sell insurance to people who call in, who are not actually very qualified leads. The leads are set up for frustration for the agent and the consumer calling in. To be successful here you better be willing to be high-pressure sales and sell even to those who can't afford their food that week. You are trained to guilt them into buying.

Pros

It’s a very large company.

Cons

Management is terrible in most cases. There are a few good ones, but they eventually fire them and replace them with a sycophant.
