Pluspunten
Very good training for marketing reps. Potential for high compensation. Culture of promoting from within. Good place to get a foundation in insurance knowledge and sales skills.
Minpunten
Federated’s business model is not geared towards retaining clients or employees. You will not be able to build long-term relationships with most of your clients because Federated will eventually force them away with unreasonable rates, or idiotic decisions from underwriting. The hours will also be grueling. Upper management is disconnected from reality, or pretends to be for their own reasons. There is a cult-like atmosphere that everyone pays lip-service to, but is actually a joke. Life insurance will ALWAYS be the most important metric the company judges you by, and the LEAST profitable way to spend your time. Lots of training is provided for marketing reps, but not enough for other departments. Many of the support personnel do not know their jobs, or simply aren’t very good.
