Pros

Teammates & internal partners are fun to work with. Flexibility in where you work was nice, between home locally & the offices locally. Good base pay

Cons

Office environment is for the Agents you sell to & not the people of the company. Hard to work there sometimes from a sales perspective. Cut throat if performance isn't over 100% for more than 2 quarters. (70% is grounds for a PIP). Leadership can flip a switch from being your best friend to cold even when you bring solution oriented information to their eyes. Once they make a decision they do not take input & evaluate for mutual success. They won't pay previous quarters commissions if you leave. They got more strict on remote work and where you were over the summer. AKA even though we are remote most days, if you were working from somewhere not in your market, you had to get approval.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
