Vantaggi
-The hiring process was quick - I was hired during my first interview. -If you're a good salesperson and enjoy sales/cold calling/driving around to knock on doors, it'd be a good option.
Svantaggi
-You aren't an employee, you're an independent contractor, which means that taxes were a nightmare. -It's 100% commission and you have to pay for all your own expenses. -Super competitive atmosphere and the beginning agents are treated like crap, while the higher ups are like royalty. -The insurance is real, but it's set up like a pyramid scheme and there is huge turnover on the bottom level because it's not sustainable. -You're expected to cold call union members to schedule appointments and if you don't have appointments, you're expected to drive around and knock on doors or leave information. -Felt so unsafe going into people's homes for appointments. -Went on a 10 "business trip" to Aberdeen, WA and had to pay for all my own expenses, but no one in Aberdeen wants or can afford insurance (it's a very low income, old logging town).
