Pros

You have the opportunity to help others

Cons

When I started, I had over 30 companies I could quote with. Before I stopped, I only had 3-5 I could quote with. Before I started, I was told I could sell in California since I have that license. Once I signed on, I was told I was not allowed. I was also told I could sell commercial (that was my background). Once I signed on, I was told I was not allowed. If it is not specified in the contract, It is not allowed! I got the short end of the stick with these guys. The franchise fees and the technology fees are ridiculous. As my CPA said, Borderline illegal. I stayed with them for a year. They have flooded the market with owners as well as corporate employees going after the same customers. It's doggy dog. I would have been better off franchising a fast food restaurant.

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.
