Unless your a CSR or something like that sitting behind a desk and W-2'd then in this business you most definitely work for your self, and I dont understand when prospective agents use the phrase "work for", especially when talking of an MGA/FMO/IMO.
True, some will hold you hostage and nearly skin you alive, treat you like you work for them just without all the bells and whistles. Of those few that are out there I say may they burn in hell, eventually their organization will fall apart, it will become harder and harder to con the few remaining people out there looking to get into this biz.
Amerilife from everything Ive seen is not one of them. Perhaps once upon a time they were, but many IMO;s morph over time. They seem to offer bona fide contracts with street commissions, assist with some lead programs, offer some office support, full range of carriers, what else do you expect? I didn't see any "working for" arrangement, no captivity or exclusivity clause, or that they somehow get in between you and your commissions. I like them, as much as anyone else out there that is reputable etc. Plus they offer a couple of carriers I want and for whom the are near or at the top of the food chain for, my motto is go as high up and direct to the source as you can go when signing a contract.
I see a lot of innuendo on here and negative speech regarding AL, but no specific facts or details to support these claims, so unless I see otherwise Amerilife looks ok to me. But then there are a lot of folks online here who slam MGA's if its not the one they are working with or they represent.. They are all different, and sure there are some really bad ones but the should be pretty obvious by their deeds like - do they expect you to be exclusive, assign your commissions, any have to or cants are a sure sign your going to get screwed sooner or latter, otherwise its all a matter of preference, leads, service, commissions & support. Speaking with Amerilife, I didn't see anything that would scare me away.
