Dear DevsBro,

I saw your resume online and I wanted to bring you in for an interview. Not gonna say for what position. I see that you are qualified for stuff that has no relationship whatsoever to selling insurance but I thought I'd waste your time anyway. Oh, did I let it slip that this is a sales job? Forget I mentioned that.

Sincerely,
Ultra Life Insurance Co LLC INC EOE TMI WTF Arcade Edition

Shitty sales jobs are always hiring, not surprising because they probably have insane employee turn around

Haven't gotten one from them, but I ignore an email from some life insurance company or another about three times a week.

In order for their pyramid scheme to work, it requires a crap ton of people at the bottom to sell the overpriced shit so it can trickle to the top.

that line of work has crazy turnover rates since you are selling a shitty product that if people understood it, would never buy it.

effectively they hire someone, and once that person has fully harvested their friends/family group, they voluntarily quit since they cant make any more money. rinse and repeat.

most every company in this space is pushing whole life, the commissions on term life are so small that its not worth the salesmans time to try to push it.

hell, I would say that the major reason that shitty companies like NWM even offer term life insurance is so that they can write such a terrible term policy that whole life looks like a deal in comparison. they know that there is a lot of discussion out there about how term is the best kind of life insurance to get, and whole life sucks, so they have such horrendous term policies available so they can "prove the naysayers wrong".

The offers stop coming the older you get, the industry likes to exploit the young. It's a decent stepping stone for people with actual sales skills though.
