Liars and Scammers!

Pros

They’re in a nice building.

Cons

They fire and hire like an assembly line. I just witnessed them lay off about 60 employees due to company wanting to restructure and have a smaller head count. Yet, they’re hiring more agents? Poor training, bad leads, management has no clue what they’re doing. You ask questions and it takes days IF you’re to get an answer. This company lies about your commission AND they have clawbacks on the measly few bucks you make on the sale. Don’t make this a career if you are a single parent or are relying on this job for security. You’ll get fired before you can even blink.

Policy Sales - HUGE MISTAKE

Pros

Health insurance is pretty good. Ability to work from home is nice.

Cons

Management is terrible. No transparency at all. Hire huge groups of people only to fire half of them. Then a month later, they hire another big group. I was told during my interview that you have to "try really hard to get fired." I still have a job, but everyday is a waiting game to see who is next. There is a lot of stuff they expect agents to do that is not compliant. You risk your license every day trying to sell policies for this company.

Big fat liars

Pros

There are definitely no pros. I guess working from home would be the only pro that they have. This place is awful.

Cons

Evidently management has gone on here to do a lot of fake reviews. This is the absolute worst job I have ever had. You cannot be open or honest about anything or you will get fired or wrote up. They are not transparent and horrible with communication. They tell you one thing and do another. They will not pay what you are owed. They change the comp plan to whatever makes them more money and you less. They will make it retroactive causing you to lose commissions. They want you to work at least 44 hours a wk and weekends. You will not have a life and benefits and moving up within is a lie unless you brown nose and don’t sell. They are liars and con artists. Do not work here unless you are ok with potentially getting your license taken away due to the shady things they want you to do.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that not everyone has the great experience working here that we strive to deliver, and we will use your feedback to positively impact current and future employees in this role. Regarding pay and commissions, we have all employees on commission (agents and leadership) sign and agree to a commission agreement contract, and we strictly adhere to and honor these agreements. We do give agents who are performing well (on target) the option to work overtime and make time and a half on their base plus earn higher commissions, but agents tell us they feel this is an opportunity to earn more, and in no way a requirement. Also, as a licensed agency we work to and are in compliance with all relevant state and federal law insurance in addition to insurance carrier and industry ethics standards. Any ethical or compliance issues reported externally or observed internally are dealt with swiftly, including termination for those in violation of these requirements. We encourage any agent or customer of ours to report potential violations to leadership or the relevant insurance authorities to ensure these standards are maintained. Best, AWL leadership team
