Pros
High compensation, multiple resources for continuing education, great chain of command from CEO down to Managers, to Sales Coaches and trainers, you are never left in the dark. This is a tough job. It is not order taking. The people leaving bad reviews obviously didn't want to work very hard. I work 40 hours a week and make a great living. I can do this in my sleep. Oh, and they pay you a ton of money for cross sales. Lots of incentives (trips to Hawaii, Flat screens, ipads, lotto tickets, horse races) Last year, I think SQ paid out 250K in bonuses to its employees, if not more.
Cons
Dealing with the public, not a lot of people understand the basics of Life Insurance. No company wants to pay a salary to someone who is not giving 100%. After a few months of working, this position becomes Commission only, which is good for people who love sales and realize that it makes you work harder, but I still wish I was paid something for my time here.
