Pros

Hiring process was good, though I did not realize the turnover was so high

Cons

Terrible business model and poor management. When I was there employees cam and left at will all day long with no management oversight. After I was hired I was advised no raises - ever, you are paid what you were hired for. Hopefully you can qualify for a bonus at some point, but it is insurance oriented and businesses buy insurance because they don't know what might happen to them. If there are a lot of losses in your branch - no bonus no matter how much your sales/business has increased. No one there understands insurance or what the laws are for customers, I don't even understand how they are allowed to operate in California.
