Pros

I had the opportunity to call a marvelous pile of 5+ year old "leads"--aggressive and disgruntled "prospects" who had already been endlessly harassed by Asurea for years--and get yelled at once again. Somehow, it was my fault that they didn't want to buy life insurance. Oops, was this supposed to be the "pros" section? Well, there are no pros.

Cons

Of all the insurance/brokerage related companies I have been involved with, Asurea is far and away the biggest scam. This Craigslist-advertising racket has the nerve to charge agents *steep* rates for their terrible, worthless, laughable "leads" that are no better than dialing randomly from a phone book. Their goal is to coerce new hires into quitting within two weeks (or outright fire them), so they don't have to be paid. The idea here is to have the new victim..er, agent..write just a few policies as he spends his own time, talent, and gas money into lining the company's pockets. After that, the employee is axed while the next round of suckers is hired (soon to be fired). What a fortune to be made! Most of the work is done by people who are never paid a nickel. If you are planning on quitting your job to work for these swindlers, you are a total buffoon. You would be better off working at McDonald's. Stay far, far away. Don't take any risk with this scam. Just my two cents!

Pros

Asurea is a well-established organization which sells life insurance, mortgage and retirement products and I have been a life insurance agent for one year. The management team is highly knowledgeable of the rules, regulations, policies and prices and they provide excellent training and support that is ongoing. The management team also has an open-door policy and are always willing to answer questions whenever they are posed. Ongoing training is provided so life insurance agents are always made aware of new products and services. The pay is excellent and agents are always motivated to strive harder so they can reach their highest potential. Working for this company has given me the ability to increase my knowledge base and skill sets because I am given the opportunity to learn about new products and sales strategies. I am honored to be a life insurance sales agent with Asurea and I am extremely thankful for their great motivation techniques which drives me to reach exceptional goals!

Cons

The only con in terms of working with Asurea is that agents are prevented from providing certain levels of coverage to some individuals and this can lead to complaints. For example, one individual complained that he had to pay a higher premium because he was a smoker. This is common in the insurance industry and Asurea, just like other insurance companies, must consider the underlying risks when underwriting policies. When I asked Asurea’s management team about best practices for handling the situation, they provided me with strategies to deescalate the situation by telling the customer what we could offer as opposed to what we could not.
