Pros

Not too much to say at the moment. Been here over 10 years, and it gets worse every year.

Cons

Leadership loves cutting benefits. In the past year, they cut our Retiree Medical Savings Account, reduced our health benefits, increased the cost of our life insurance, etc. They don't care about employee growth - they have policies against promotions, said that being underpaid is a good thing, and have flat bonuses and nonexistent raises. When asked why we should say, leadership says "because of our mission" or "because of our ESG initiatives." Place is a joke and a sinking ship. They don't care about employees one bit. Stay far away from this blackhole.

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

The ability to be a W-2 employee while getting your feet wet in life insurance is great. They do pay for your licenses in states that you don’t have. Total I may have 30 licenses, they paid for 25 of those. My manager is cool and helpful. Gives insights and help to increase sales

Cons

In Life Insurance as an independent agent, you typically have the opportunity to get between 80-90% of the first year premium that you sell. At Assurance, you start 114% of the FIRST MONTH. It’s really a rip off. As a 1099 agent, its 225% of the first month and that’s not really any better. You have to sit on the phone for HOURS with extremely long wait times for calls. The calls that you do get are either about a bogus ad eluding to $15 for $150k of insurance for seniors. Now there are some people that do not have long wait times and those people are also getting the most sales....... but how do you make more sales if you’re getting maybe 20 calls in a day?
