Pros
Decent benefits, may be a good job right out of high school or after getting your GED, but that is it.
Cons
Isolation, training is terrible and basically nonexistent. They want "experienced" insurance candidates, however, that doesn't mean they are ready to hit the ground running once hired. There is absolutely no room for advancement, there's nowhere to go? The only "bonus" program is completely unobtainnable in my agency and in many agencies. All the servicing involved- uploading accounts, cohering to your "workflow" is a waste of time and quite confusing. There's no one to turn to for help when needed because you're the only agent in the entire office- no one else is licensed. No reimbursement for gas when running errands on behalf of your job. No compensation for overtime- and it's an hourly position. The only time you may be able to "bonus" in a month is if you can get 5 memberships, which is impossible in a society that no longer sees the value of these costly memberships anyway. AAA is dying as a whole unless they can let the insurance production in big cities carry them into the future. If you're looking to take your experience to a different agency, find ones who will put in the time and effort to train you and make pipeline opportunities available. Look for agencies that allow time for outside networking events and won't hole you up in a corner of an isolated AAA branch.
