Pros
The whole team at the Headquarters in Texas "Gets it". They genuinely care about our success as agents, and prove it through their actions. I recently was awarded the opportunity to participate in a symposium for the top agents hired within the last calendar year, where our early success was celebrated, and we were given exposure to the top brass in the company, as well as the teams that are working feverishly behind the scenes to make us look good as the face to our clients. The entire event was sponsored by Healthmarkets, and everything was covered, from travel to food, to lodging. How many companies do that today? I have also been extremely impressed with the training and support all around me, from local management, to an online Resource Center, packed with knowledge. I joined because of the local management, as well as the opportunity to be paid very well for my hard work. The online tools are an added bonus.
Kontras
While it is challenging to manage in the early goings, some may find it difficult to balance the fact that the agent compensation package is based solely on 100% commissions. I view this as a PRO.
