Pros

I started at this company as a temp agent during the annual enrollment period during the COVID pandemic. At the time I had spent years prior selling health, life, annuities, and investments. I had planned on retiring from the insurance world. During AEP I found that the work/life balance was probably the easiest I've ever encountered in a sales related position. After AEP I was asked to stay on as an agent and work for the company full time. The way the company treats both its temp employees and full time employees is very admirably. The benefit schedule is better than some of the fortune 100 companies I've worked for and they handle the purchase of all licenses. You are only responsible for renewal CEs. Due to the level of experience in other fields outside of sales I was asked to move into a more administrative roll handling their cloud telephony system. Overall I can say this is one of the best companies I've worked for. The executive team really cares about you. The way they produce their leads is par to none. Their pay scale is fair with a combination of salary and commission based on performance. Health benefits are handled entirely by the company and they have a great retirement plan in place. Above all else the company runs with integrity and they keep the promises they make.

Cons

As an agent, it is a sales oriented position which requires you to sell. The Ignitist team have fair expectations and are willing to improve performance instead of immediate termination, but all the same there is the requirement for performance. Also the vending machine has Pepsi product and not Coke. (joking not joking Pepsi sucks)

Pros

-The management and supervisors are extremely understanding about needing time off and it's clear that they really do care about their employees as people, not just as sales people -If you get overwhelmed or upset on a call, your supervisor will allow you to take an extra break to calm down -PTO and Sick Time and paid holidays for actual employees -The company slogan is "Do Good", we are actually encouraged not to make a sale if it is not the best thing for the client we are working with. -We sell plans with a lot of good benefits - if you can get them to stay on the phone, the sales are relatively straightforward and easy to get -The department and teams are very encouraging and positive. -It is completely remote after the first week of training! We are allowed to go to the office, which is really nice, but it is completely optional. -Work life balance is amazing -Many shift options, especially during AEP when there are half-days and weekends to try and not overwhelm people. -Pretty standard commission of $25 per sale, paid out in the second paycheck of the next month -It is temp-to-hire primarily in my department, and there is a lot of growth within the company! -They promote from within before outsourcing. -We are truly making a difference in the lives of our clients! The benefits of these plans are life-saving. Literally.

Cons

-We are mostly leaving voicemails, which is fine as long as you know that is what to expect. -Like every call center, clients can be rude and you will get hung up on. However, once you know not to take it personally, it's easy to shrug it off. -Like every job, there are coworkers that are annoying. Luckily you can just not engage with them if you wish to - the beauty of working Remote. -It can be isolating if you are not active in the Teams chat. -Changing departments is difficult if this is your first job as an agent, which for many of us it is.
