Pros
-Necessary product: all Americans above the poverty line should have it. I filed several claims for policyholders going through cancer and they were never disappointed by the financial support we offered. -Growth-oriented/caring coworkers: they stepped up and supported me during a difficult time personally and are generally awesome people from top to bottom. -Income potential high: for those with high-level outside sales experience (as I had) or rare ability to learn quickly, exit comfort zone, overcome fear, etc., the profits can be large and come in bunches. (I paid for a newer SUV in cash within a year of employment, while handling bills of $3,000/month.)
Cons
-Learning curve: if you haven't worked in supplemental insurance industry before, product and industry knowledge take time to grasp. Also, of course, if you haven't been in sales before, rejection in general takes time and thick skin/discipline to withstand over time. -Travel/schedule: some late nights and week-long work trips (was not a deal breaker for me as a young single). -Income result can be low: not the case for me, but turnover rate in any commission sales position can be high since the learning curve isn't always overcome. Again, though, a person with proper sales experience can definitely do it and make great money.
