Pros

This company is making serious waves in the insurance industry. We are growing really fast, and as a result, there is a lot of room for advancement. If you work hard and do more than the minimum you can grow your income significantly through bonuses, promotions and commissions. Even a middle-of-the-road agent can make $100k+ after a few years. The company notices and rewards those who go above and beyond what is asked of them. Once you have established yourself as a consistent producer and leader, there is a lot more freedom and flexibility. The nature of insurance is that it is a long-term career where you can continually make more each year with renewal/residual commissions stacking up year over year. The company is also young and fun; Work hard, play hard at its finest.

Cons

This is not a stop-gap between college and your "dream job". This is a long-term career option that takes a lot of hard work to really going. If you are looking for easy money or a quick resume builder, this is not the place. But, these aren't really cons if you are dedicated and hard-working because the rewards far outweigh the negatives.

Pros

Best reasons to work at Goosehead: (1) Fast paced sales environment (2) Unique model that allows successful agents to make very good money (3) Innovative concept that is disrupting an entire industry (4) Young, energetic work force; lots of great activities outside of the office

Cons

Honestly - no real cons. Applicants should understand that this is not a "get rich quick" industry. It is a "get rich over time and stay rich" industry. You will have to work hard to build your referral pipeline. Goosehead will give you the training and tools you need to be successful, but expect to work hard.

Pros

Goosehead Insurance is a great place to start your career or to expand your career if you are in a stagnant job. The best thing about working at Goosehead is that we are always looking for ways to improve, so new ideas are constantly encouraged. This was a great change for me coming from a large company that "had everything figured out." Goosehead has experienced incredible growth since I joined the company and continues to grow more quickly each year. This creates unparalleled opportunities for individual professional growth while working with an extremely talented team that will push you to reach your max potential. The other thing that makes Goosehead so special is my coworkers. They are my second family and closest friends, so I look forward to each workday simply because I enjoy working with everyone here. There are lots of social events like beach volleyball and dodgeball tournaments, charity events, team incentives, and social hours that help you form these personal connections.

Cons

The starting compensation may be lower than some other companies, but those who work hard and perform well will find that the annual comp adjustments more than make up for this over time. If you're just looking for a short-term job vs. starting a career, Goosehead is probably not the best fit. Most positions are salaried and/or commission-based, and we all have a "leave when the job is done" mentality, so those looking for a very set schedule may struggle. On the flip-side, this allows greater flexibility when someone may need to come in later or leave earlier.
