Pros

A lot of really great people Pay felt fair (although bonuses and raises did not) Flexible enough with WFH as needed for appointments etc.

Cons

I left the company a year ago, and I feel like a different person. I didn't realize what the stress had done to me. I was road rage-y, always on edge, not sleeping well, felt like a constant failure, etc. The demands were always changing - I never had the same KPIs from one month to another. I never felt that the company trusted or respected marketing. Sales would constantly take our wins, but credit us for any failures. I watched the company make good people into terrible managers because of the lack of structure and support, and the high stress and demands. The health insurance was mid at best. Was hired under the pretense that there was room for growth. There were no internal promotions on the team. Our annual reviews and bonuses were moved back 3 times in the 2.5 years I worked there, and there was always a reason I wasn't eligible for 100% of my bonus. I know I'm not the only one with that experience. If you have other options, take them. It's simply not worth the stress.

Pros

I’ve had a great experience at Goosehead, especially after moving into a Sales Manager role. The company gives people the opportunity to advance quickly if they’re willing to put in the work. I enjoy coaching and developing new agents, and it’s rewarding to see them grow both professionally and financially. The culture is energetic, leadership invests in training, and top performers are recognized. Like any sales organization, expectations are high and the pace is fast, so it isn’t the right fit for someone looking for a typical 9-to-5. But if you’re self-motivated, coachable, and enjoy competition, there are a lot of opportunities for career growth and strong earning potential.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high expectations, so you have to be self-driven to succeed.

Pros

Broad Product Access: Agents leverage an expansive portfolio of top insurance carriers rather than being forced to sell a single brand. Passive Income Potential: Sales reps earn uncapped commissions on new business alongside recurring residual income from policy renewals. Strong Peer Culture: The workforce is described as highly motivated, energetic, and welcoming, offering a great environment for young professionals. Dedicated Service Support: Separate service and back-office teams handle ongoing client management, allowing sales agents to focus strictly on closing new business. Professional Development: The firm covers the cost of licensing exams and provides structured Salesforce and business development training. Standard Corporate Perks: Full-time corporate staff receive a complete Goosehead Insurance Employee Benefits Package, including a 401(k) match and an employee stock purchase plan.

Cons

No cons to mention here. - this is a job, you can make it great if you care about what you do and the relationships you are building.
