Pros

Globe life is very supportive of employees offering a variety of resources for professional development, philanthropic activities, and fun company events each year. The workspace is open and encourages collaboration, and the company is very flexible about work schedules and committed to employee safety. I find that my managers are always open to hearing new ideas and ways to improve processes while providing clear guidance for company goals and priorities. My coworkers are smart, hard-working, professional, and supportive of the efforts my role entails. Expectations for my role are well communicated and results are regularly acknowledged and appreciated. I especially like Globe Life's focus on building a strong brand reputation through their professional sports sponsorships, community involvement, and commitment to their policyholders.

Cons

The only downsides to working at Globe Life I have encountered are that it is a large company with thousands of employees, so it can take some time to build an internal network of contacts to work with on different projects. Also, Globe Life actually encompasses multiple brands that each have a unique culture which can be a challenge to manage especially in terms of marketing.

Not a great company

Pros

I had a horrible time, the position I was in and management you have to deal with. Suffice to say I can’t name a pro. Maybe decent choice of hours?

Cons

-direct manager of department is entirely incompetent, it’s well known throughout the agents but tolerated by upper management for whatever reason. -2nd manager over the entire sales department plays good cop, but seems to keep his head down. -goals are unrealistic. They got this way by offering “incentives” for hitting double the daily goal. Which was fine when the daily goal is reachable, but the company, being greedy, said that because everyone was getting the incentive fairly often, why not double the daily goals and incentives requirements. And now you have low wage workers making less in commission and working a lot harder. Plus management goes after you if you aren’t hitting the goal (and you have a monthly goal, which can get you fired). -Health plans seem great, but they refuse to cover any “restricted” drugs. Which tend to be the most expensive... interesting. I ended up paying out of pocket for 3 of my 4 meds.
