The classes are full because there is no interview. Lets be honest interviews suck, you are being judged, scrutinized, tested, and humbled. My class was full of older guys, I was shocked one of them I talked too said he felt stupid being interviewed for a FO position with his credentials. I totally get it.
There are ZERO obstacles to coming here presented by the company, if you want to come, come.
As for the insurance, its awful, i used to sell life and health, the low premium doesnt cover anything but doc visits and the high end is cost prohibitive. Look elsewhere for insurance.
my last paycheck was $400
