Pros

Work from home, set your own hours, fair commission if........ and there's the problem

Cons

Horrible leads: prospects who make less than $12,000 a year. Wait times of 45 minutes??? They do outbound calls and the majority of people have no interest and ask to be put on Do Not Call list. They have very bad computer systems (a joke), no support with the numerous problems. Problems such as need to change payment date: can't. Have to start application all over again. Client gives incorrect health information but finally has correct information: can't change application while still in the process? Client doesn't have the money to cover premium; multiple contacts and still no luck. Many prospects are only eligible for Final Expense Insurance. $150 a month for $5,000 face value. Do the calculations. They play so many 'games' with the way leads are transferred. I can't even guess them all; week by week they change mostly for the worse. Recently, while waiting as long as 25 minutes for lead calls, I received calls from people for health insurance (I don't sell) to file a claim with Global life, to place an order for food, from an Amish woman who wanted me to work for her multi-level marketing company, from lots of people who asked to be put on the Do Not Call list, from people who are looking to replace their existing life insurance (I can't do that at this company and have to transfer?), and so many more useless leads. It's a hard way to make a living with these kinds of mistakes, leads and no support at all from system problems and application problems. what possessed Prudential to purchase them for $2.35 billion is baffling to me????

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
