Pros

They have a lot of food options

Cons

I work for IPA. I am not an employee that no longer works here so when I saw someone say things are great now that all the whiners are gone I knew someone was asked to do a review. I actually know who it was that wrote that bogus review but I won't name call. All I will say is that IPA is not a good place to work. All the good people left due to them not being appreciated and and not getting paid. There is no repsect in this office. The owner of the company talks down to the HR staff and yells at employees. He has a quick temper and gets mad without even knowing what is fully going on in his own work place due to not being there. Pretty much he ends up looking like the idiot he really is. The review above was correct. IPA couldn't even pay to keep there lights on so one of the employees had to whip out her check book to keep the lights on in the building. The only reason the owner of IPA Mark Hunt is showing up to work now is because He is losing people left and right. We used to have meetings and now we don't. There was one woman who literally let managment know that they are going to lose people because of how they treat the sales agents. She was like the only one whoever spoke up and she had a target on her back because of her honesty. So if they ask you how you feel about your job you have to lie because Mark says he wants the truth but can't handle it. I hate working here honestly. If I could find another job I would. If I could find all the other workers jobs I would, but I need to find one first.

Pros

I absolutely loved working for Mark Hunt (president) and team at IPADirect. Very fun atmosphere and genuine hard working people. Unfortunately I had to move to another state for family reasons. If I ever get back to Florida this will be the first place I go for employment. A+++++ company!

Cons

You have to be willing to work hard and this company will work hard for you!! If your lazy this isn't the job for you.

Pros

I'd rate it a 3+. Better than a lot of the ins. companies I've worked for. Yur treated like a person instead of a number. And you get a lot of help to improve your sales. Compensation could be better but I hear their going to raise it soon - they listened. You can work as an independent (like I did) and find your own leads $ $ and pay for travel $$ or you can go to a sales mill where your job can change week-to-week along with your pay. Or you can go to a big place and think it'll be better but that's not always so. I'd rather be here. Still some stuff to work on but getting a lot better. There's a future here. Just gotta stick it out. If you just want ta make a quick buck no matter how you do it and then complain and go somewhere else- don't come here like some did. Benefits are really good too.

Cons

Need more leads. Ups and downs are tough
