Pros

Growing business. Ambitious company. A few great people.

Cons

It was the only time in my career where I never looked forward to starting work in the morning. Poor onboarding experience - low chance of initial success. High pressure and with very unclear success metric. Many different leaders casting judgement with limited context. Felt like everyone was always fighting for position while pretending to be friends. A lot of turnover and not for everyone. Every job has challenging days, but this was especially bad.

Thanks for leaving a review! It’s our goal to create a supportive environment where team members feel excited to start their day and energized by our ambitious mission. We’re sorry your experience didn’t align with this. Kin’s environment is fast-paced, direct, and dynamic- and may not be a good fit for everyone. Many of our teams rely heavily on cross-functional feedback, collaboration, and adaptability to drive continued innovation for our customers. We appreciate the feedback you provided and will look into ways to continuously improve our onboarding experience. We wish you the very best in your next role and hope you find a great fit ahead!

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.
