There is one thing for sure. You need to be a special type of person to go after senior citizen's retirement money. Any part of the job that employs deception of any type is unethical and unlawful in most states. There is alot of upfront money one needs to dole out to get started and stay running in this game. Insurance companies will list you as self employed so they don't have to deal with you as an employee or your mistakes. You may start with an 8AM meeting and finish your last appointment at 10 or 11 PM. This is the reality of insurance sales. Cold calling is tough and not very productive but managers will have you do most anything so they can get their cut of what you sell. That is the pyramid part of this business. Someone is always getting a slcie of someone elses work. Genuine insurance opportunities are where you are actually an employee, you recieve paid training, and you have a mentor to assist in developing you into a quality agent that is an asset to the company and the policy holder you represent. The people who wrote negatrively about their experiences have put forth what they have gone through with this company and are not idiots or any other such foolish title. They have explained their experience with this company so you won't have to go through this ordeal and if you choose to at least you know what to expect and should be able ask the right questions before getting involved Bankers Life of any other insurance company.
