Pros

Once trained, you can work from home. The work itself isn't hard. It would make a great supplementary job for a little extra income. Don't have to pay for leads. It is a numbers game, and if you go through the motions, you will eventually make a sale. If you're a savant at sales, then this would be great position, since there's technically no cap on earnings. In general, there isn't pressure to make sales from management -- though I suspect it's because if you don't make any you'll just starve. The insurance plans they offer are actually good plans.

Cons

It's entirely commission based. As you get started, you'll need to have savings and/or credit cards (or a job already) for up to 3 months if you intend on doing it full time. If not full time, then make it clear to the hiring manager that you have to feed yourself, and won't risk (since they're in the business of risk) not potentially having an income for a week. You will work your butt off with no guarantee that you'll have any income. And yes, there will be bad weeks where you make 0 dollars. The sales training at the company sent up a red flag for me when the script went like "...we're a not for profit organization..." Of course we're for-profit. That's unethical, and frankly sleazy. Very high turn-over rate. They were hiring new people every week I was there, it didn't inspire confidence. You are technically an "independent contractor" meaning the company doesn't have to offer you a base pay or benefits

Thank you for your comments and advice. There is certainly a lot to digest here. USHEALTH Advisors, like all successful businesses, has developed and subscribes to a specific business model. While it may not work for everyone, our experience tells us that it works very well for those who follow it...and for the company, itself. Regarding sales training, rest assured that no company-authorized sales training includes any deceptive sales practices or scripts. Deceptive business practices would be in total conflict with USHEALTH Advisors mission of Helping Other People Everyday. Like all self-employed opportunities, the work is hard...the income is based on performance and the rewards for doing the work can be incredible. Those who thrive here most, believe in their right to independence and self-determination. Again, thank you for your comments. We wish you much success in your future endeavors.

Pros

As a former agent who started at US Health in 2014 and then advanced high enough to open a top 10 office with over 20 agents I feel I have a lot of valuable information to share with anyone considering a career here. First of all, before I explain why I am never going back, let me say that for new agents thinking about joining the industry, or seasoned agents WILLING TO LEARN, this is probably the best insurance opportunity in America. NO insurance company I have ever worked for prior or since pays as much in commission as USHA and NO insurance company has a product that is as innovative. Also, I'm not going to rehash what everyone else has already said, it is not a 9-5 job and if you are willing to put in the work it WILL pay off. All that being said, your success depends a LOT on your up-line. I am the 5th or 6th manager that has left this particular division. At some point, you would think the company would listen to the complaints from the other agents in this division. Sadly that has not been the case. I have had numerous former agents calling me crying about what the office has become, but unfortunately, they are fairly stuck. My advice for anyone considering a career is to ask for a report from the office, and look for yourself at how many people they have and how well they produce. The best managers have teams with consistent sales. Choose one of those, otherwise you WILL regret your time here. Choose the right office and this job WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Cons

Unless you are a great self-starter and at the top 1% of the game, you will fail unless you choose the right team.
