I have been contacted by this company in a scripted e-mail fashion with the letter not even addressed to my person - only generically sent. This bothers me. I have also had other companies contact me in the same manner, all getting my name and information from employment site.
Though I have no experience with this company, just their format is exactly the same as others have used which disturbs me, and I think employment sites and other legitimate employment sites ought to take a harder look at companies that use their sites to recruit fresh agents, because of all the supposed insurance companies who have contacted me in the past month alone, all but one was a legitimate insurance company with real products that they could prove to me they offer - not a 3rd or 4th party broker shopping around to the real providers.
Other concerns I am seeing, there are a lot of these 3rd party providers insurance firms out there, and though they may be legal today, if you investigate and dig deep enough, many are operating on a thin line between legal and scam. They employ elaborate structures to hide immediate facts and have branches unto themselves of varying degreee or name or terminology. Just look at Corenstone America (for instance) and what has been revealed by their mother company UICI, though there are agents or managers who say they have been there many years making 6 figure incomes.
I have read many of these postings of many insurance companies, and what is funny, is there are "kids" out of high school getting the same employment offers (for their wonderful resume's) and promises when people like me, who have over 25 years life experiences and skills in several fields of business, and a couple degrees to boot, get the same exact offers. So much for qualifications I guess for many of these jobs? Just this point alone makes some wonder why these insurance companies have to keep recruiting more agents each week as they seem to, hold seminars, make expectations to the attendees, and then require a fee for those independent contractors to work for them before they can start - not talking about the license costs for the state either.
