Pros

The trainers were excellent! Getting to speak to very angry unhappy customers that were transferred to you that don't want life insurance!

Cons

SelectQuote Is by far the worst place I've ever worked. Even if you are great at your job there's no guarantee they will keep you. They hold metrics over your head and you always feel as though your job is going to be taken away from you at any time as was the case for so many folks that started in my training class. They are ran by tyrants that have no couth or understanding. They will cheat you out of your commission by their pseudometrics that are garbage and have less to do with actual selling than to following their script and doing other robotic tasks. When you start working at SelectQuote they give you garbage phone calls that is hard to make a living out of for instance You are given all transfers from people that were solicited for ancillary items such as a necklace you wear around your neck in case you fall these people are already irked and angry from getting that phone call and then the agent regardless of whether the customer wants it or not passes that customer on to you so that they can get a couple bucks for us keeping them on the phone for a certain number of minutes. Then you get cursed out by most of these folks because they said they didn't want life insurance to begin with and they didn't want to be transferred You get mistreated so poorly by some of these customers because they don't like the fact that you called them on a early morning or for something stupid like a necklace and if you can convert anybody to maybe being a customer they're usually expecting the world for pennies on the dollar. When you do make large sales they will screw you and I mean screw you big time out of your commission because they have this whole long set of metrics that they measure you by and they can tilt them to their favor to not pay you such as things like customer service basically things that have no quantitative value. If you look and indeed or any other job site you will see every single month they are posting job positions for $60,000 a year plus which is a lie you can't make that your first year. They prevent you from making that!

Pros

Annual bonus based on employee and company performance

Cons

Annual salary is way below national average, especially based on years of experience. They've talked about promoting all QA Analysts to QA Engineer for years (due to the fact we're all fulfilling QA Engineer roles but with the Analyst title and pay), but every year they had a new excuse as to why they couldn't promote everyone. The workload far outweighs the pay.
