Pros

Pension. SOME flexibility. They are trying to open it up options for sales reps with partners for placing business. They are starting to change their attitude and possibly trying to improve some things.

Cons

The employees that said they had work life balance cannot possibly be in sales. It is difficult to figure out who target market is, because our rating system isn't good. You have to work 50-60 hours a week to thrive here. They micromanage you to death about everything. Don't expect just to run your own business like a normal sales professional. There are a million rules and compliance at Liberty is crazy difficult. You can do well in 30 areas but if you miss one they are all over you. They micromanage about accurately recording time to the minute but they refuse to approve overtime so they force you to not record it accurately. If you don't work that much there is no way you make it there. They force you to change your time card to no more than 44 hours because any overtime not deemed valid, but you need to work 60 hrs to be successful. Although they are generous with vacation, you can never take it because you will fall behind and not be able to make your numbers. I have had several different managers and they all play favorites so you had better suck up or they will find a way to get you fired even if you do well. You are all on your own for Marketing dollars and you can only get leads if you do well. If you ever have a bad month or want to take time off then you will get no help with office leads. There is no enough time ever to get things done. They pay you barely anything on renewals so it is very hard to increase your salary anymore year after year because you lose so many people at renewal.

Pros

The pay check arrives on time.

Cons

poor management-top on down- senior management worships only their balance sheet-pigs at the top. record profits and more and more office downsizing. Legal department devolved from ethical representation of Liberty insureds, to no representation. no staff, no secretaries, no help-just ever increasing case loads. Liberty has no concept of RESPONSIBILITY, other than as a slick marketing gimmick.

Pros

- Benefits package - Generous base pay and PTO - Onboarding process was done very well - Training is very good even though for many things you're told to do the exact opposite once you're on the sales floor - Work-from-home setup and environment are excellent

Cons

In spite of all the pros, 9 of the 22 agents I started with, including myself, had left after just 6 months (such a waste of money). What's even more surprising is we weren't given exit surveys, so they don't even care. That alone should tell you it's not a happy job, but the main cons for me were: - Micromanagement down to the minute of each day (I became afraid to even do follow-ups with good prospects because I was fearful of my Offline Work being too high on any given day, for example). You're threatened with write-ups, PIPs and possible termination daily should you violate any one of their sacred and horribly distracting time measurements. There's no trust at all that you're simply a working professional capable of using good judgment who doesn't need to be babysat by the minute. I had to do most of my self-development off the clock because they give you no time for it during your shifts. Even assigned training is to be done "in between calls." It's like a factory job, but with phone calls. - Their quoting system is the worst software I've ever used in my professional life. I couldn't believe how bad it is. It has to be at least 20 years old and constantly disrupts live calls with its random error conditions (quotes crashing, gibberish error messages, and repeatedly failing to save information, for example). It was the most frustrating part of the job for me personally. My very last call before I quit typifies these 2 cons perfectly. It took almost 2 hours to bind a landlord policy because I had to fight with the software. 2 duplicate quotes and 4 calls to the help desk later I finally got it done. Meanwhile, my supervisor was barking at me to get out of Offline Work and make myself available for new incoming calls. Maddening.
