Pros

Good pay potential, good company.

Cons

Toxic management I am a little heart-broken about Kin as there was good pay potential and the company has an excellent niche market. When I was leading the team in sales. I quit because of a toxic, micro-manager (who only had experience in auto insurance, at GIECO, to make things worse)... In my case, I could have a customer with a good company and a good rate, and I would be reprimanded for not asking for the sale (almost verbatim to a script my supervisor created on her own). Even if we were 4x the rate with inferior coverage, I would be reprimanded for not asking for the sale since, "what if", the customer had bad coverage (in violation of my conscience and, encouraging agents to, potentially, violate one's legal fiduciary responsibility to the insured).... To make matters worse, when I expressed my concern, my manager replied with a touch of narcissism stating, "I think its just in your head". Secondly, during training, there was a supervising manager who had a way of instilling fear in the employee if something needed corrected. The training was a bit too long and, in some ways over-complicated, and I had to adjust starting my day at 6 AM PST. I ended up going back to Matic Insurance where I had good success and a much better and supportive vibe from management.
