Pros

None that come to mind. They pay for some licenses.

Cons

A Typical day- Dreadfully clock-in to make your $14.50/hr 8AM- pointless meeting listening to an agent make a potential client feel horrible about their current situation so SQ can get their hands on $78/mo of the clients $700/mo SS check. The trainers tell you to "dumb yourself down to the client's level." No need to worry, that client will cancel. SQ retention rate (policies that stay inforce) is around 30%. 9AM-12PM- pressing a button on a poorly made SQ proprietary website to take a lead another agent pushed through to you (They are not interested in what you're selling). Basically you are a telemarketer and SQ treats you like one. No respect for your professional license, college degree, they don't care about you or their clients. 12PM-1PM- Lunch 1PM-6PM- More uninterested leads that you were hired to "make interested." If you think that's what marketing is for, you are wrong. Maybe just maybe you sell a deal. $700 Annual Premium. Even after work you are constantly stressed because upper management holds your job over your head like a lab rat and cheese. You can never figure out what your commission will be because SQ will find every possible way to take it from you. Didn't get an email address, SQ's scumbag hands are taking 5% out of your pocket. The company is on it's way to bankruptcy. They make false promises to their employees and to their board members. They promise streets of gold and deliver trash dirt roads. Do not believe a positive thing you are told about this company, run. Keep your head up and keep looking!
