Bankers Life and Casualty Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I have known most of the people here for years before I came to work here. These are some of the best people I know. Helpful, knowledgeable, and caring!"

"They tell you its flexible and its not. They make your schedule and its all cold calling. Leads are terrible. Managers only care about you making sales so they make money off you. Force you to get peoples investment info so they can steal it for their financial advisors, that’s wrong. Horrible customer service, just a big pyramid scam"

"Churn new agents like no other. Way above the industry numbers. Hire almost everyone and is totally management-driven. Say it’s flexible and it’s not. Lie to get new agents, don’t do it"

"I’ve worked for bankers about 2 months, and I have found it to be a good option for anyone that’s willing to put in the work."

"I was contracted and enjoyed my time with them."

"The company doesn’t value training or making an impact on employees. It’s a joke when you don’t get trained and are expected to do your job to the max. When you don’t do it they terminate your contract."
