I’m in the process of getting my license, so still very new to the biz. I’ve read the horror stories of truly bad MLM-like companies and am staying away from those (although strangely, they seem to have their fair share of happy employees), so I did a very basic Google search of “The Best Life Insurance Companies to Work For.”

I got answers like Northwestern, Mutual of Omaha, New York Life, etc. So I go to Glassdoor & Indeed to read employee reviews, and those are just as all over the place as the MLMs! “Best company in the world, changed my life”, “Shit leads, non-existent training, if you don’t meet production goals you’re fired”.

My question is: How do I know where the truly GOOD companies are if all the reviews are like this? I just want an entry-level role to get my feet wet, aiming for $80k/yr in the first couple years. Nothing crazy. Thanks for any advice!
