Symmetry Financial Group Reviews

Pros

There is always someone willing to help you. I loved my team and I plan on going back once I get things figured out.

Cons

No one was in my state to be hands on with me.

Pros

Work your own hours. Stay at home job 60% of the time. Very positive environment. Great conventions to travel and meet people. Potential to recruit everyone you know. When your up - feels amazing to be there. And once you take a turn, well then, see below...

Cons

Let me explain to you - that - it pains me to write this. This company took me a long way. But what I never realized, is if you compaire them to other brokers, they are low on the compensation scale. Start at 60% - I have had offers to start at 70% and even 85%. If you don't like running a team and recruiting, then don't bother. If you manage to write enough business to make a living, you need to get help - you would need to hire people to set appointments. Your really running your entire business and your upline will give you the moral boost. The Con is the debt - you will end up going bankrupt, owe the IRS - and probably be reported to Vector and go bust. They pressure you into taking out more lead orders, it gets expensive. Ah - you best hope nobody charges back a deal. The business is a doggy dog world. The guys who recruit are at the top of the chain. The sad truth is I made my upline thousands, when I was going broke, he wouldn't loan me a dime to save my life. I was selling everything I own, and taking out more debt to pay for leads. I was a great agent, above average - in fact I made it much farther then 80% of the new hires. No benefits, No 401k, No insurance, once you pay for leads and benefits, you best hope your buying the $30 dollar leads to get some good clients. It is really hard, I think if you make it, you probably know how to run a business - not for an average Joe in my opinion.

Pros

At home! Yes I didn't have to leave my house which was pretty good. They care about your family time! I had a death in the family and no one to watch my daughter and it was no problem have me two days off to get everything's settled. Money wasn't too bad either

Cons

Oh gosh where do I start here! LEADS! Get some new leads for God sales. Talking about how many letters you send out then when I received leads to set appointment for they were basically mostly over a year sometimes 2 year old. Get Spanish speaking people! I'm sorry but every business should have someone to talk to Spanish speaking customer especially in Arizona. I would speak to about 4 a day and have no way of booking them when they coul dnt understand me but still had to list them as contacted. Brought both the old leads up and Spanish speaking thing up to management and they still have me crap for not making appointments. Not really given the right tools to be successful. Some one in the company showed up to people's houses and was rude. I heard it from multiple customers and it prevented people who had already been spoke to from wanting to give us another shot. There is no computer system! I had a customer ask me doesn't she already have mortgage insurance through us and when I asked my boss if it was possible to check they said no. So we can't even check whether we have helped these people in the past no records kept. They want you to use an app to talk to people you dont even really know! They will push and push for you to post your numbers on an app and talk to other workers to "help each other boost moral through the day" me being one who likes to focus on my work I was not exactly thrilled to be talking through my work day and the second I posted having a bad day number wise I had problems. Some guy asked for my number to talk and I have it to him cause he was an employee and he told me he was successful and if I didn't start making appointments my boss probably wouldn't keep me. Ironically, this is the same thing I kept hearing from my boss how much I was costing him and how the guy I'm making appointment for isn't making money either. So far from moral boosting and honestly unprofessional of an employer. Long script makes people uninterested. Boss will tell you they need you to read it verbatim but then when your not making appointment set you up to practice with apparently successful people who tell you they do not read the script verbatim so conflicting things all the time. They will just recycle old leads and call them over and over you probably will start receiving threatening voicemails and texts but I'm the words of my boss you just need to be a robot and keep dialing so basically not care about anything whether your giving someone the greatest service or answering all their questions doesn't matter as long as you keep being a robot and dialing. But if you don't make appointment they will chew you out and also if your appointment don't show up even though they don't want you to remind them it will be your fault. Overall people too much grief. The job was nothing like advertised you are basically a telemarketer harassing people of your are calling them over and over even after 2 year have gone by since they requested their info. I wish someone would have told me what being an appointment setter was like so for the next person there you go!

Pros

Unlimited income potential while helping families protect their loved ones I make my own schedule, work from home, earn an income I never thought possible and the only place to go is up!

Cons

This is YOUR OWN business. If you don’t have the self-discipline, drive and work ethic to create amazing results and extraordinary income on your own, then you’ll be just like the other people on here whining that they had to buy leads or that it’s a pyramid scheme. This is not a job. I am self-employed. If you want a J. O. B…. THIS IS NOT IT. If you want to create your dream life by being 100% committed to YOUR SUCCESS then that is available to you. No one is going to hold your hand. We have been given everything we need to succeed here. People who fail at this, fail because they didn’t follow the system and/or put in the work. Also there seems to be some confusion about what a “pyramid scheme” actually is. Educate yourself.

Pros

The company is very friendly and boasts many benefits

Cons

This company works under an MLM pay structure.

Pros

There is a family feel to the environment. People are motivating and support. They care about your well being and want whats best for everyone. Training was great. Loved meeting folks from all over the country Remote make your own hours

Cons

100% commission if you put in the work it definitely pays off but you have to be discipline and make sure to have some savings to live on while your building your business off the ground. Other then that it's what you put into it what you get out

Pros

Flexibility no quotas not pressure, however they will push you to be your best or you will probably fail. If you want 30k a year they will teach you how to do that, want 30k a month? They will teach you how to do that. But will you do it?

Cons

There’s not a lot of cons but I would say not having base pay sucks, but the commissions are very good so it’s a trade and there’s benefits but not like great benefits.

Pros

Great culture and training on personal development!

Cons

They say a "world class lead system", it is a third party vendor that sells expensive, over sold leads. The commission structure is also not what it seems to be. Your experience will depend on who you go with. The Agency Owners make money off of every person they hire, called "new writers". You make money on recruiting them and they write for a couple months before they quit because its a slow bleed for money. Cycle repeats. They will tell you something like "Make 200K+ while taking a vacation every month" this is not true.. if it is too good to be true, it probably is. I came into SFG with financial security, promised I would be profitable first month - I did the system and six months later, I have only made $3500 total and spend $2K in leads. This is like an MLM, but for insurance. Steer clear.

Pros

Incredible mentorship and training. Leads so no cold calling and leads at various budgets. A company who cares for you, dynamic owners who give back to the company. Leading the industry in both technology advancements and products. Unmatched culture.

Cons

For most it requires some capital to get your business started. It is not for someone who needs a paycheck next week. While some find immediate success for most there is a learning curve and may take significant time to become profitable. But if you are able to get through that your income can be life changing.

Pros

Lots of help and exciting company!

Cons

Commission based is all on what u can do
