Cons Long hours, minimal pay. They promise you the world but can't seem to deliver. Out dated/recycled leads. Management doesn't know what's going on helf of the time. Advice to Senior Management You should be ashamed that you call your company a good business. Your not helping the working families your scaming them. American Income LifeSales Agent in Covina, CA: (Past Employee - 2012) “phenomenal upper-managment. toughest job if u make it u will succeed!” Pros Compensation sales development leadership development honesty/integrity ( this is true under the person who hired me) confidence builder team work fast paced career track(i chose not to peruse due to commitment level) Cons Time Commitment( no previous experience) drive time (wish i lived in the valley) down time when managers are doing other things crowded phone rooms rejection from clients was new to me but this changed after 30 days Advice to Senior Management The State Director and Regional Manager are some of the best leaders i know i wasn't able to work on the team i wanted because i was recruited by another manger however they helped me with anything i needed. the unfortunate part was they also run 2 other offices and they spend majority of their time working with management and top producers. i received an scholarship to go back to school (they do not allow part-time). this office has rare leaders that care about you as long as you care about your future. i noticed that they are serious about their business so if your not committed to give up leisure you best stay away. i witnessed 9 promotions in the first month and over 20 in the 4 months i was there. pros and cons i still respect training i was given by my trainer. and to this day I'm an active recruiter for this company. American Income LifeAgent in Indianapolis, IN: (Current Employee) “It is the most intense job I have ever had. The hours are vicious and require some serious focus.” Pros - Flexibility - One can get promoted to management fast. Performance based not merit based. - Good management team that are willing to work with you. - Awesome training programing including the laptop presentation which make the sale easier. - Great leads system and good market penetration (Union Employee). One of the best lead system I have every seen. I've been able to average nearly 20 referral per day using the company system. I wouldn't believed it if I wasn't working there. - Good income opportunity if you work hard. I made seven sales my first full week in the field. Cons - The hours are the most difficult. You could easily work until 11pm or later most nights and all day on Saturday and sometime Sunday are encouraged. - Turn-over appears to be very high. I'm sure most of it is due to the long hours. - Lot of traveling that could take a told on your vehicle. I spend a lot on gas every week. Advice to Senior Management - I would suggest the 8:30 PM appointment and the 9am Saturday morning appointment should be eliminated or made more of an option to each agent. This is what causing us to work until 11pm and 12pm at night. How many families want there wives or husbands coming in at this time of the night most night. It will eventually take a tole on most families relationship which will cause the agent to eventually quit and that's not good for the company when management has invested so much time with the agent.
