I'm going to as direct as possible. I'm stuck with a brokerage that takes advantage, barely pays and overworks. I only have a Health License as of right now (In the process of adding Life) with great experience with MA or MAPD but not much else. Which I'm sure is by design. I haven't seen commission in so long I forget It existed at one point, the leads are so recycled and stepped on, I almost know them by name. If you do sell, high chance you're selling someone else's business. I have exhausted every option, every resource, every line of communication, every favor and every opportunity to attempt to stay with this brokerage and make it work. For almost 3 years, I have drug myself through the mud waiting on a promised land that never comes. It's just met with a "Work harder, get more sales" in an environment that's so difficult to survive in I feel like I'm going insane. I've lost my apartment, I've lost my car, I've spent more money trying to keep this job than I ever did working it.
I've been a Top provider at any job I've ever had. I started selling insurance a month before my first AEP and was in the top 3 at the brokerage with the highest retainment to boot. The problem is, I have no idea where to go from here. As an agent, you always have a ton of people looking to hire you. Who do you pick? how do you know what to look for so it doesn't happen again? I know I need my release, But do I have to be communication with the new FMO in order to do that? I feel like I've been kept in a box and unable to grow or learn anything of the industry. I have to somehow bridge the gap between paychecks and If they don't give me a release then It's back to something else for the time being I guess.
