Vantaggi

Initial training is good... but faulters when it is most important. Benefits are okay, and they will get you licensed in numerous states and certified with multiple carriers, but you are selling your soul to the devil in exchange.

Svantaggi

I come from a recruiting and sale training background, so I can smell the BS from a mile away, but I rode it out because recruiting is "selling" employment. Talent acquisition is tough in an age when work ethic is no longer plentiful, I get it. HOWEVER, when they hide the true compensation for the job until training is nearly complete and you have invested hundreds of dollars into licensing and certifications... well let's just say, compensation is not quite what the recruiters said it would be. There are all these secondary and ancillary products you have to push and certain numbers to reach before you can attain any real income. It is pretty much a work-from-home call center. We were told that we would only handle inbound calls - NO COLD CALLING - well that is bulls... It is ALL cold calling. Another team makes the calls, convinces the "caller" to stay on the line, and then they are transferred and you are supposed to sell them on a new policy. Then, half of your sales commissions will fall off due to cancellations after the fact. The people were duped into enrolling and many unenroll or change to a different carrier during AEP (Oct 15 - Dec 7). I was thrown into retention. I have had to deal with the backlash of these practices. They are absolutely deceitful. I cannot stand to be lied to or treated as if I am "property" they control. I had enough of the lies and calling them on their BS. A group of us could not finish our training on time due to certain recruiters and onboarding agents who gave incorrect information to use on the licensing process. So, those of us who had passed our resident state license exams and were awaiting final resolution from the state we thrown into CCA and promised we would return to sales training following AEP. When I questioned my supervisor about returning to sales training I was told initially we were staying in CCA. Not what we were told originally and nor was it what I signed on for. After a full day of deliberations on the topic, and being told that I was pretty much the property of the company and said company would dictate where I worked, I told them I needed an RMA for the return of their tech. I am nobody's property and I won't be dictated to nor micromanaged. My numbers speak for themselves and I had had enough. After I posted my text conversations with management to the group chat so everyone could see what was going on, they IMMEDIATELY announced that the would-be agents will return to training on Wednesday the 8th. Once I called them on their BS... yet again... and exposed their lies and behind closed doors attitude, they did damage control and I am now out. I have too many years under my belt being self-employed to put up with being treated like a child. I call it as I see it and I have called them out too many times over a short period of time and they were wrong on every occasion.

Vantaggi

Work from home. This is NOT a remote position and you are expected to be wired with an ethernet connection. Them promoting these roles as remote is false advertisement

Svantaggi

MULTIPLE open law suits, some that are highly concerning for the companies ability to remain operational in the near future. The activities covered in the open law suits are STILL happening, including steering and TCPA violations. You will talk to people who have been called by the company 5 or 6 times just that day and you WILL be cussed out for it. There is a constant threat of layoffs hanging over your head, seriously, they'll brag about record profits and 20 minutes later hold a meeting to talk about potential layoffs. THE GOALS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. Your managers will CONSTANTLY be changing, so do NOT expect any kind of stability with this company. The health insurance is wildly expensive if you have a family to cover. You are expected to mislead people. As others have said, SelectQuotes main leads come from TV, internet and social media ads promoting a multiple-thousand dollar food card. To low-income seniors. Who then have their souls crushed to find out there was never a food card. They have now also started hijacking callers to other insurance companies. Meaning you'll take a call and the person will say I called the number on the back of my insurance card, what do you mean I'm not calling my insurance?! Oh and when that person doesn't "opt-in" it counts against you. THE GOALS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. You will be paid minimum wage. Yes, you earn commissions and during AEP those can be multiple thousands of dollars a month (for 2-3 months) but the other 6-9 months of the year you are lucky to break $1000 commission and since they're paid as a bonus you lose 40% of that to tax. You are also not guaranteed to actually make the commissions you earn. If your QA score is .01% below their ever changing goal, your commissions are deducted. If the mail order pharmacy sign ups you completed didn't actually start their service for ANY reason, even the ones fully out of your control, your commissions are deducted. THE GOALS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. During AEP, you are required to work overtime and weekends. They'll tell you it will only be the occasional weekend, but I worked almost every one last year. I was working 7 days a week, with NO time off! You are given PTO, but they have limited how much PTO they'll grant per day, so you now have calendars with whole months blacked out, months in advance. And you cannot request based on future PTO, so if you don't already have the hours you can't request it and it will end up blacked out before you have the PTO balance available. Policies are not applied equally throughout the department, what is okay for one employee is not for the next. THE GOALS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. If you're internet goes out, it will count as an occurrence. If their systems go down or have issues and you are unable to complete calls, it will count as an occurrence. I am watching coworkers drop like flies after announcing in team chats they are burnt out, exhausted, tired of being/feeling abused. I have watched management promise those employees stability, support, training, etc and seen none of that followed through on. Management will tell you there "will be" opportunities to advance in the company, next year, but until then, nothing. No annual raises or COL adjustments in this role. You will take back to back to back calls, 8 hours a day, every day of the week. ACW expected to be below 2% TOTAL. You will lose your voice. You will have UTIs during AEP. You will also not be able to take time off to see a doctor for those things, even if you can afford the insurance. Most of your coworkers will also be, very obviously, using hard substances during the busy times and it makes for an extremely uncomfortable environment. You will very quickly notice that most people do not stay here longer than 1 year, just enough time to find another position! And the goals are constantly changing, with little or NO notice of those changes until you find out the hard way you're no longer meeting them. We were recently offered around $3000 to recruit new employees, I do not know of a single coworker that actually recruited anyone. It's that bad here that we are willingly passing up on large sums of money during a period where most of us cannot currently pay our bills to avoid bringing this nightmare to our friends and families.
