Uppers
The best part of my job is that I am able to communicate with people that are
need of medical insurance. And even if they do not qualify for the services, they
still appreciate the compassion and the time that I offer. Help the needy is
always a joy for me!
|
Downers
The worst part of my job is that some people actually do not qualify for the
services and sometimes I just can not help me which makes me feel kind of bad.
|
Lifestyle
I work 45 hours one week, then the next week I work 35 hours (it is flexible)
and have the Friday off. I only travel to other offices if help is requested; no
business travel. We rarely have social events at the job. The dress code is
business.

Compensation
You can start off making I think $24000 a year which is not bad for a beginner.
No bonusm no stocks. The company does pay for your health insurance premium and
matches the retirement.

Advice to Jobseekers
The advice that I have is that you must be a person that is willing to become
loyal to the public and be able to handle heavy case loads and talking on the
phone.
