I hope this post can save anybody that's doubting working for this company. So I was on indeed applying for jobs, one day I get a random text from a ushealth advisors recruiter, inviting me out to an orientation. Throughout the orientation they make the job of selling insurance sound SO simple. They highlight that all you need to do is sell 3 policies a week, and your salary a year will be 150k. Towards the end of the orientation they start showing people's paychecks to show off how much people are making. Then you individually interview with the recruiters, and they'll tell you that they're highly selective, but you seem like you want it bad enough so we'll give you the job on the spot. Here I was thinking I was just overly qualified, but nope. You go through a month of training 6 days a week from 8am-8pm UNPAID. You just sit in these long boring meetings all day. At this point I should've knew, but they made it sound so good and kept highlighting the fact that this first month of training is hard, but it all pays off as the money will start coming in. After that whole month of working, is when they tell you, you actually have to pay for the certifications of each state you want to be selling insurance in. This cost me $1000. Another red flag I ignored because they told me that I will be selling policies left and right with these states therefore the money can be made up in 1 day if I really wanted to. Mind you, during the orientation they kept talking about how they spend a lot of money to provide us with "warm leads", which for those who don't work in insurance, warm leads is basically information of those who were seeking health insurance. Well after I got my state certifications, they expect you to pay $300 a month to use the cubicle in their office (it's not an option to work from home like they kept telling me), you pay $150 a month to use a CRM that dials the people through a different number, and then on top of THAT $75 per lead. Yes, $75 per person to reach their contact info, which by the way, a lot of the time are already bamboozeled with calls by hundreds of other agents so it's rare that they'll even pick up the phone. Sales has never been a difficult job for me, yet I only sold THREE policies in the span of 2 and a half months. After being physically drained of being in office 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, making cold calls and spending my own money. I finally put my foot down, and quit. Now, one month later I receive a letter in the mail saying per the contract of us health groups, I owe them $1,000. What contract??? Maybe they slipped it in somewhere but NEVER MENTIONED IT to any agents. Overall this company sugar coats everything calling their office the #1 office in the nation, and if you're apart of this team you are highly successful. Every Friday they held huge meetings of fun games and stuff, but the meetings would mainly be talking about how much the top agents make so that it can encourage us to spend more unpaid time spending our own money chasing after a dream. Anyways, moral of the story, don't work for this company unless you have nothing but time and LOTS of money to spare. At this point I'm not sure where to go with this $1000 debit they're saying I owe them. I have left the company broker than I was before with no money to spare. To spend another $1000 on this company is absolutely insane. I am assuming this $1000 is the commission I have made from those 3 sales, so maybe the contract states I have to stay with them a certain period of time, before I can keep my commission? annoying considering the amount of money I've spent to even get $1000. I don't recall signing a contract but honestly with all the onboarding paperwork they probably slipped it in there somewhere & just never brought attention to it. Anyways, avoid at all costs.
