      I have been working at SelectQuote full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I had been lied to by prospective employers so this was important.
      His response was that they were absolutely fair about what they expected and what they paid. I wanted an opportunity to work in a professional position. I wanted that opportunity to have or eventually have the option to work from home. I am money motivated, so is my company. I like working in a fast paced and changing environment with other professionals and experts. I liked the intense training and meeting the expectations that went with it. So far my experience at SelectQuote has been well above what I expected when I started.

      Cons

      They offer too much free food. I gained 15 lbs after I started. I know I don't HAVE to eat the delicious and caloric food but...
      Seriously, that's what I can come up with.

      Advice to Management

      I like the recent moves the company has been making to take care of us. Keep up the drive for us to make healthy choices in every aspect of our lives and encouraging us to act the part of good citizens and ambassadors. We look to you for leadership. Continue to be worthy of that role.

      I worked at SelectQuote full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The training program, trainers and management are top notch. Selling at SelectQuote is an excellent opportunity to thrive financially and grow as a sales professional. Lots of room for growth. They make it easy for you to focus on selling and have plenty of support staff to do the rest. Had I not left to pursue a greater opportunity, I would still be there today.

      Cons

      Very long hours if you want to make it an extremely lucrative career, especially at the beginning and during AEP. Make the most of your time and you’ll do fine.

      Advice to Management

      Improve the benefits package: better 401(k) matching and better heath insurance options. Blue KC Preferred Care Blue PPO would definitely help retain great employees!

      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at SelectQuote full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      -get to work at home
      -being an employee instead of a 1099
      -pto is pretty good
      -hourly wage
      -benefits
      -equipment provided at no cost

      Cons

      -lead quality and limits, a lot of people get called by some lead agency, and they show up to you already mad, or they might already have a good plan, or they might be on a plan that you don't want to switch them from, extremely hard to actually get a sale
      -it's quite possible to make no or very little commission which leaves you an hourly wage of about $10 an hour to survive on, was told when i was hired that the lowest amount anyone made was 55k a year, not true at all
      -very high turnover
      -outbound calls-i make a lot more outbound calls than i thought i would

      Advice to Management

      -be more honest during the recruiting process
      -make the base wage at least $12 hr.
      -increase the commissions
      -purchase better more focused leads
      -make the majority of the calls inbound
      -make the leads unlimited with no caps

      I have been working at SelectQuote full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Nice office, nice location, fun environment

      Cons

      It's a lot of hours for not much money. I'm not making the 6-8k a month that they dangled to get me on board. I'd have been better off staying at my previous job. I'm working 20 hrs a week more for the same money.

      Advice to Management

      Re-evaluate your bonus structure. I don't know why I would want to stay on after AEP. I'm so disappointed. Denver is an expensive place to live. I didn't go through licensing to make $15 an hour when I'm working 60 hours a week.
