RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Bankers Life full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
No one determines how much I'm worth or how much my time it worth. I earn what I put into the career. By far the most rewarding career I've ever been in and it keep getting better every year. The bonuses during the 1st year of the career are great while one get momentum, and the fact that bonuses are ongoing all year long, makes it even a better incentive to work hard.
Cons
Not sure if this is a "con". The fact that we are in commission only instead of salary or hourly pay makes it possible for us to get paid our full commissions! I've seen hourly wages in other companies, and it's a shame someone made $100 a day in hourly wages when they could have made hundreds more with the same effort and production if they were in commissions. If anyone is looking for a job where you can just milk the clock and get paid, this is not it. But if you're looking for a vocation or career that pays you what you're worth? This is it.
Advice to Management
Continue to provide mentoring, resources and support to incoming and Senior agents. Without these, I wouldn't be here today. Good leaders are good listeners.

Pros
Able to work independently without being micromanaged.
Cons
Not much upward mobility available on the administrative and support side.
Advice to Management
Office staff and sales agents are kept very separate. Culture is important to keeping employees happy. Try to build more camaraderie in the office.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Bankers Life part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Build your own schedule and Be your own boss
Cons
You are on your own. Company does not provide quality leads and operates more like a call center and door knockers.
Advice to Management
Stop the employee-revolving door mentality and improve the quality of the company to be a professional insurance company... right now you are on par with an ambulance chaser

Fresh Leads everyday. Generous commission structure. Training is consistent and involved.

Provide a base pay.
