Avantages
Training program is exceptional . Very in-depth, 6 to 8 weeks long, prepares you to sell Medicare products. Strong Benefit package..401k match is very low. Employees are hardworking and most truly care about the senior population they work with in the Medicare market. One manager is new to company and seems to be invested in the teams success. The other manager spends most of the time telling you how great they are and how much they loves themselves...not exactly a way to promote team spirit.
Inconvénients
So much time, money and effort are put into the training program but absolutely no effort is made to keep valuable people. Business 101 "Turnover = costs the company money." Compensation (commission or as they call it bonus) package is TERRIBLE no wonder its kept "secret" until you've been there for two months. Base pay is $15 per hour. During nine months of the year sales are very slow which makes it very difficult to support your family on your piddly income. The commission scale is ridiculously low as compared to working at other insurance brokerage firms. AND they lower the commission scale during the AEP time which is the only 3 months during the year you have an opportunity to make a living wage. eHealth keeps the majority of new business money and 100% of renewal money. The sales staff are professional level people and deserve to be paid accordingly. It is no wonder people move on so quickly - they leave for better pay and to be treated like adults by people who want them to succeed. If your employees succeed the company succeeds.
