Pros

You learn a lot about life insurance and underwriting

Cons

First off, notice the 5 star reviews are all created around the same dates and short and sweet - obviously SQ mgmt. creates these themselves. I worked for SQ as a senior sales agent for over 5 years. When I first started, it was great. Great people, decent pay, decent leads, etc. By the time I quit, it was unbearable. Upper management changed and became a joke. The individuals they have "representing" their upper management were either prior sales agents without any management experience, or uneducated managers who were able to climb the ladder. They decided to manipulate the pay structure to eliminate any change of making the money you were able to make before my salary was cut by about $30K per year by the time I left due to their ever changing pay structure and rules which allow them to take away your sales. The management style is by far the most toxic I have ever experienced. They manage by fear and humiliation. It's basically mental abuse and this is a theme as you read through the "real" reviews. Trust me, unless you have no other options, do not work for this company.
