Pros

I joined this company straight out of college and have been here for multiple years. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I have been with my career at Goosehead! I seriously recommend this company to all my friends (which is a bit of a risk) and many of them have great careers here now. No matter what role you are in, Goosehead leadership finds ways to highlight your strengths and play to them. The leaders of this organization work harder than anyone else to make sure everyone on their team is successful - It's true servant leadership put into practice. If you are a high achiever who wants to be a critical part of a growing organization doing great things - this is the place for you. Yes it takes a TON of hard work, but at no point in my career did I think it wasn't worth it.

Cons

Goosehead is a very fast growing company, so there will always be growing pains and things that we learn from. Honestly, the only negative talk I see (about TWG or Goosehead) ever is from former disgruntled employees (which is honestly rare here) who just aren't happy people in general.

Pros

If you have no job experience or education this is probably a good fit for you. This is nothing more than a call center job, and your managers will absolutely try to make you think otherwise by changing your title, having meetings on how important and meaningful your contribution is etc. In that way it's great if you came from a previous call center environment and would like to continue doing so. Otherwise...

Cons

If you have any real experience or education it baffles me to think that people stay in this environment when they options. Even with no qualifications people find themselves in better positions than working at a burn-and-churn call center. This makes much more sense however once you see for yourself how adept management is at selling the job to you, despite the fact that most people want to escape from it but have lost the motivation to do so. This job will grind you down and remove all willpower you had to escape and better yourself. Don't take my word for it, just pay attention to the people who work there when they give you the floor-tour. Defection rate is embarrassingly high which management attempts to mitigate by writing false reviews of the company in every social media outlet they can. Workdays are a long, tedious, and mind-numbing experience where its very common to stay late, sometimes very late to pick up the slack of the workday. Although you may think the pay offer is good, watch your actual per hour income plummet as you easily spend 50 hours a week or more doing the same thing over and over. Since it's a very small company promotions are rare. However, Goosehead management will continually tell you they are rapidly growing and promotions are right around the corner in an attempt to get you to stay. In the rare case that there is a promotion it's really just about whoever is friends with the managers. Even then, after a promotion you will be doing exactly same thing as you were before you were promoted except now you handle complaints (oh what a joy). The pay raise after a promotion is negligible as well. If you are smart, hard working, and easy to work with please do yourself a favor and pass on Goosehead. Your career will thank you for it.

Pros

Goosehead has a great executive staff with a lot of ambition for the company. The company is still young and continually makes huge strides in becoming a competitive force within the insurance industry.

Cons

Like a lot of sales-based jobs the hours are intense, however, if you are willing to put the work in- the outcomes are worth it.
