This place was a horror show. So you work for no salary, commission only under the following pretenses:
- You will get 200 clients!
- We are going well beyond insurance and actively pursuing financial planning!
- The leads are great!
Really the title should be "Overglorified Client Service Associate". They pay you nothing and expect you to provide tons of service to existing insurance clients of whom you have virtually zero chance of selling anything to (no lie - the lead close rate is 1%). So you're basically duped into thinking you can sell, but instead spend your time servicing their clients without earning a salary.
After training and a month of doing this job I was a bit bemused over the whole thing. It was an elegant scam. The manager expected folks to come in at the height of the pandemic to pound the phones and send hundreds of letters (with handwritten addresses). Every client outreach was an opportunity to sell (though none of these clients had any money and certainly didn't want more insurance)! And the boss would sneak out every day between 2-3 (ie no jacket, not carrying anything - did he think folks wouldn't catch on??)
I took a chance because I was still getting severance from my last job.
They gave me a small signing bonus and are forcing me to pay it back because I was not there long enough. It amounts to less than $2K per month and I made that case that I created a lot of leads and helped with them on my way out and serviced a ton of clients. They still want it back!
We'd get almost daily emails about their wokeness, but when given the chance to do the right thing and let me keep the money for the work I did, the demand it back. Bottom line is they don't really care about people and the wokness is just a marketing ploy.
