Pros

Some of the staff here is good. But most have been quitting within a short period of time.

Cons

Owner can’t stay focused. Doesn’t know how to use any of the State Farm systems. Doesn’t know how to track sales. Always several days behind on emails so by the time she asks us to do something, it was accomplished several days ago. I have to argue for every small commission payment. She will skip whole months of paying commissions because she is too busy working on non State Farm work. She doesn’t really seem to care about the customers. Just wants to find more way to get money out of them. And she plays favorites.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
