Pros

They offer some good products in Life insurance and back it up with good marketing materials. There appears to be good brand recognition in the marketplace

Cons

Managers are far more concerned with hiring new people than they are with growing and helping the existing agents. Tremendous turnover of agents tells you all you need to know.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
