Pros

Every job after this one has seemed better than it actually was, in comparison. If you actually *want* to work in high-pressure, low-reward, high-turnover sales, you won't find a better place to develop the skills you need.

Kontras

Every single person you talk to in an endless string of identical days is either trying to sell you the dream of your success if you just get your numbers up (the management) or trying to get you to break out of the script and acknowledge that they don't want what you are selling (cold-called potential customers). Your treatment is based on your value to the company, so if you make a lot of sales everyone is your friend and the future is bright. But you are only given promising leads - i.e. lukewarm calls, rather than cold calls - if you are already making a lot of sales Statistically it is almost guaranteed that your only contribution to the company will be a rounding error in the average length of employment, which on the sales floor tends to be ~ 2 weeks.

Pros

If you have no soul and don’t mind making 300+ cold call a day; this might be a good fit for you.

Kontras

They are a part of AIG (America International Group). The sales team is a total boiler room experience. The start you selling Accidental Death Insurance that they market to people that are on SSI disability due to health conditions. People like HIV, Heart Failure, etc. (who has one leg in the coffin already due to health reasons). Most likely they will never use them and placing their limited money down in the drain. They will have you call 300+ calls a day and the successful are the people who does not question the management and just force the policies down to their throat. From my experience it is not difficult to sell as these people (customers) are on heavy medications already and they think they are getting a life insurance that will pay off their debts and final expenses. You will not do well if you have a conscience and feel this is garbage product for your customers. Their top reps mute the phone during the part when it says accidental insurance while reading the scripts. You even get in trouble if you spend too much time in the rest room as they time everything.
