Pros

Work from home and that’s just about it!

Cons

Training was rushed, Low comp plan, you’re really making 5 dollars per product when you begin. Then they find ways to take money from your compensation every month. They showed us their AEP check stubs during training hooking us in saying how much money we’ll make during AEP. The company also said no cold calling when all it is, is cold calling. They hire a third party to reach out and tell the client lies about all of the amazing benefits we’re going to give them and then transfer them to us. Once they get on the line with us, we’re supposed to bait and switch them into a plan they really don’t need. They make it seems as though we’re helping elderly people when in reality we’re really not. The leads are absolutely terrible. Selectquote hired thousands of people this year so there weren’t enough leads to go around so the agents that were level 3-5 were treated like dirt. We were told to cold call clients on a no sales list and harass them to try to make a sale. I felt terrible harassing the elderly people. They come out with a new script every week that we need to read to the clients to try to trick them into getting a plan with us. This company is the worse place I’ve ever worked for. The set unrealistic goals, managers complain about occupancy when you barely get any inbound calls. The managers only care about their level 1 and 2 agents. Selectquote just fired over 800 of us right before Christmas and offered us a severance pay of 500 dollars. That company is awful. STAY AWAY!!! AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST!!!!
