Pros

During training, learning the information, taking tests, and listening to how the pros sell insurance. -great bonus on "good test results", it pays to study really well!!! -catered meals, cheap but good cafeteria food, and you will never be hungry cause there is always food. -I've made lots of friends, meeting lots of good people, and it feels like a big family. -I got a 15 min back massage, free money for helping clients, and everyone goes to breaks together.

Cons

Between Oct. 15th-Dec. 7th it is all hands on deck. All the happy feelings are gone. The company creates this Hunger Games Style for Sales, aka either you sell or your out the door. My coworkers and I felt so stressed out that drinking coffee isn't enough to get us through the day. There a constant of technical difficulties. My facial skin got so dry from staring monitors all day, you NEED blue-light-blocking glasses so you won't get headaches. Everyone is required to eat at their desks and the lunches weren't healthy. Mostly cheap pasta and tacos. In the end, my stomach/gut got really messed-up by eating late in the day or not eating at all. I got back pains and neck pains as a result of sitting and staring at a monitor. This should not be happening to someone in their 20s. Finally, the company decided to layoff 30ish people because they were at the bottom. Only a few "ten" employees were offered a full-time position out of 300 employees in the beginning.
