Pros

They will pay for your insurance license and schooling. You could easily be a manager bc there are so many people coming and going in this job.

Cons

Do not work here. You will be pushed to charge large broker fees to people of all walks of life even the granny on social security. Just to make that 395. They don't have any morals. Even if you make tier. Which I did twice. There will always be a flag or an error to make sure you don't get your commission. You'll be working full time at minimum wage. Doing work you should not be paid only minimum wage for.

Leadership matters - your people matter

Pros

You get a lot of experience in the insurance industry. If you start getting promoted you can get experience on management. You can make really good money based off performance. If you have the right leadership you can make really really good money. You have an opportunity in your career to be developed. Easy to move if you know the right people. You make way more money than someone who probably has a degree. The company promotes internally only. Commission is really good when you can hit your quota.

Cons

Agents and managers don’t have PTO or vacation time, it is earned and very hard to get. The company is growing too fast and not able to focus on their current employees, or stores. Instead of fixing the ones that aren’t profitable they open new ones and leave the ones struggling out to fend for themselves. It’s really hard for someone to get in trouble- time attendance. Their employee handbook is too vague so there isn’t a set rule for certain things. Basically everyone does whatever they want. They put up with people who are great sales person but horrible attitudes. The compensation starting sucks for new hires. Turnover rate is really high because the training program is too long. Too many things going on at once that Employees end up missing them all or just hit one goal. company needs to Start doing year end evaluations. Some have been there for so long and still make the same amount of money or even less due to new pay structures. The hours are super long - it’s the only way for them to make money. Employees end up quitting because they don’t have a balance with their families. They don’t have holiday bonuses or parties. It’s not all about the money sometimes- some people care more for PTO and being acknowledged for their hard work or long term relationship to the company. Company doesn’t invest in the technology for the employees and customers- even though they make millions a year. With the current covid19 situation - you’d think this multi million dollar company would invest in the technology for their employees to be able to work from home. But they won’t invest in it and weren’t prepared.

What A Lie

Pros

- Generally laid back environment. You can snack, text , etc at your desk - They pay for all your training and give you a solid intro to auto insurance - Stable for the most part - The entire process from getting hired to starting is pretty quick

Cons

-Long hours - Long and overdone training program - They'll send you to other offices in a moments notice regardless of how far it is - The pay structure is an absolute joke. You earn like $11 at most an hour and the rest is purely commission which by the time you receive your check, is hard to really calculate to make sure you were paid accurately. - Very strict regarding time off/half days/ etc. You have to ask 3-4 weeks in advance for a Saturday off & even then they might not give it to you - They rarely promote from within, so don't expect a raise at any point - People can be catty
