Pros

Free coffee and tea in the breakroom.

Cons

Unprofessional, unorganized, unethical, ineffeicient, and absolutely the most toxic place of employment. You go to the "interview", expecting a one-on-one interview with a CEO but instead you are just being sold the job and being pushed into this marketing consultant position. They try to glamourize the position but in reality you're making cold calls in a small office from 9-5 and not being paid. You're promoting their business and not getting a penny out of it. They promise you a 6 figure salary if you continue to work hard and follow their "law of large numbers", but in reality you're just wasting your time and working for them for free. Even the people that have been there for over a year are not making a sustainable amount of money yet they are so brainwashed they do not see that they are being taken advantage of and could make way more money working a full-time job with an hourly wage. Leaving was the best decision I ever made; do not fall trap to their promises of wealth and luxury.

“We are sorry that you feel that way” Our interview process has radically changed over the last few years and all candidates will get a one on one experience with one of our Executives or Senior Associates in the firm. I can assure you that no one here ever promises a six-figure salary to anyone that starts at the firm. We are in a 100% commission based business and we get paid by helping clients to save money and get better benefits and that is why clients come on board with our firm. The more clients that we help then the better our consultants do financially. We have the utmost respect for each and every one of our team members and we hope that is shown in the way we take care of our team. In fact earlier this year we took a trip with our top consultants for 2017 to Europe and have organized various team building activities including sporting events, dinners, happy hours, and other fun activities.

Pros

I really don't know that there are any...I guess the office building comes stocked with free coffee and on Fridays there are doughnuts and bagels

Cons

-Full time job with no base salary -No sick days, vacations days, etc. -Mandatory un-paid meetings/"training sessions" every week that are repetitive and condescending in nature -No opportunity for growth -Little to no transparency about where the company is headed -No health insurance or any benefits at all -Zero assistance or training in obtaining your license. You would think the mandatory hour and half long training sessions once a week would be a good place to do this, but instead they focus on the power of positive thinking to achieve your goals -You are expected to make at least 1,500 calls a week -Extremely sexist and misogynistic work environment. Very inappropriate comments are made by both your co-workers and upper management, so there is a "boy's club" culture with no recourse in which to express any grievances -Little guarantee that any of your deals will close -The job description you applied for is likely not the one you will be doing. Therefore, no honesty about what your actual position entails

Please see our most current job posting that will address 90% of your grievances. We are completely transparent with what we do and what the position entails. There is no base salary and it is a 100% commission based position. Our consultants are independent contractors and therefore in charge of their own time and schedule. There are no mandatory hours. All meetings and trainings are 100% optional. Since Consultants are independent they are responsible for their own health insurance benefits. Our senior consultants help train and mentor new consultants in the business based on their prior experience and results. We have Zero tolerance for any Sexist remarks and inappropriate comments. Any Consultants whether it be past or present found violating this have and will not be involved with United AMG. We are an equal opportunity employer and promote safety within our company. Unfortunately we have never heard of any business that guarantees that you will close business. We do have strategies that save clients on average 15%-20% of their health insurance premiums and the back end support and account management team that makes sure that they get the service and support that they deserve and that is why clients move forward with our firm. In 2017, out of 15,000 brokers we were rated the number 1 agency in the state of California for new business with the largest general agency in the country.
