Ok Pay. Terrible culture. - Insurance Sales Agent Neilson Financial Services Employee Review

Pros

Paid training and licensing was a great start. Pay structure with commission is good enough to stick around. monthly incentive prizes too. All went downhill once training is done.

Cons

No matter how successful you are at making these sales, they will still continue practicing extreme micromanagement. Back to back outbound calls non stop. Only 1 break allowed per shift which is 30 minute lunch. no other breaks. very high turnover. Any other task outside of being on an active call is seen as 'unproductive' and will bring your stats below target. This includes meetings and coaching which are mandatory. Not sure what management actually do, they seem to do nothing all day other than ask why you are not on a call and laugh with other managers.

Pros

One of the better sales environments that I have seen. Healthy competition between agents but still a sense of commonality and cheering on your coworkers. They have an R&R room to step away and take a break and the actual break room is far enough removed from the floor that you can really take time to eat and relax and not get sucked back in to work. The company is pretty diverse and the management team makes themselves available when needed. Expectations have increased on showing up on time and being professional but it still does not feel micromanaged but rather creates coaching environment. This isn't a sales job where you are pressured to crank out unrealistic daily numbers and get yelled at or worry about job security because of it. In fact turnover is refreshingly low. Pay is competitive and they make growth paths very clear.

Cons

With all the new growth things have become cramped but that will be fixed next month when we move to a brand new office. As with all start ups, sometimes technology and processes take awhile to catch up with the company but overall Neilson does a great job recognizing the issues and working to correct them.
