Pros
Great pay with residual opportunities. You can easily make 80k-100k your first year. During AEP they bring in food, prizes, gift cards and take care of those who work hard. Last AEP, myself and a few others made over 30K ( in a 7 week period). However, we had to work for it. It doesn't always come easy. There is a lot to take in when you first start (information) if you are a Broker. You need to really put in the effort up front. Don't complain, argue, or be that negative person who goes around telling everyone that you used to make so much more money before you started working there. When I first started, I worked 50-60 hours a week. Came in early, stayed late and put in the effort. Guess what...the results came. I make an honest $4500-6000 during non AEP months. During AEP I make about 35K. It gets easier the longer you stay. The leads do get better as you show an increase in production. Why on Earth would they give the best leads to the people complaining, whom are not producing and haven't proven themselves in any other way aside from being the office Debbie Downer. I now work about 40 hours a week, have a very flexible schedule and work from home from time to time. .
Snowball effect applies. Work hard - things become easy and great very quickly. Complain - You end up getting let go /walking out and rushing home to write a complaint because you couldn't make it.
Kontras
The Company is far from perfect and still has a lot of work to do. The benefits are not the best, training is being improved but still has a ways to go. Not a place to make a lot of friends (lots do not make it) Supervisors do not get paid enough. The room for opportunity is there...but why would someone want to make less money and take on more responsibility. Also upper Management needs to be more transparent. Many of the temps that get hired on during AEP are promised perm positions and are later let go without notice. Yes they are temps...but we could be a little more forward with them.
