Pros

Salary pay, youthful employees, sometimes you feel like you are actually helping someone

Cons

This is flat out a gig you don’t want to explore. Please don’t even check them out or go for an interview. This is a bait & switch kind of employment opportunity. Their hiring practices are not honest & their management practices are unethical. They will tell you this is STRICTLY customer service. They’ll even tell you it’s a “no selling job”, but as soon as you get to training and you have to submit new leads in order to impress the trainers, or learn how to upsell on your first call, or find ways to generate new lines of business, or figure out how to cross sell - OR ELSE! It only gets worse, too. Terribly written policies abound and it’s your job to pick up the pieces and put it back together, all while keeping the customer and the crappy agent who wrote the policy, happy. They tell you you’re the top 2%, which massages your ego, then you see people get fired and quit left & right. The firing and quitting all boils down to the Henderson office’s sub-par management. You will not get proper help. You will feel like you are treading water for months. The live updated boards on the wall will constantly show you how you are behind and should you have to use the restroom, be prepared to be asked to take one more call before you go. Try not to have an accident. Working thru your lunch is expected, as is coming in early and staying late. If you thought overtime was a possibility, think again. They seem happy running people into the ground just to turn around and replace them. This office will not grow, like they tell you it will, with the current manager in place. She is cold, calculated, and a wonderful actress. You’ve been warned. Oh, and by the way, a Department of Labor investigation is really not a good look.

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.
