Vantaggi

Flexible environment with easy access to underwriters and plenty of educational and training material that you study at your own pace.

Svantaggi

Business model at district offices is not tied to the overall sales success of agents in training in any way. Sales managers who have no experience in insurance are hired contingent on getting a license and cannot effectively interact with trainees to solve complex issues or come up with meaningful marketing strategies because they lack a relevant background. District managers are paid a salary whether or not a trainee sells anything so have no incentive for encouraging sales success. Your district can have few Life Insurance experts or managers who specialize in Life, which is where the money potential is and you'll get little one on one training unless you seek someone out in another district. When you start out you are required to sell mostly auto and home (40 policies in 3-4 months) if you want to start your own agency. Underwriters can change their decisions after you've offered a rate. If you leave before selling 44 policies those commissions go back to the district manager. P&C commissions are low.

Vantaggi

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Svantaggi

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
