Pros

Good pay, and training is superb. Offer sign on bonus usually for new hires. WORK FROM HOME.

Cons

Post training management expects new agents employees to be at the speed of tenured agents if not you are harassed daily to meet quota. It is extremely stressful and difficult to work under those circumstances. Ramp up time is not allowed rhey state training is done now you have to produce.

Pros

Competitive pay Strong team/all hands on deck atmosphere, with even executive level employees assisting when needed Most positions are remote Lots of opportunities for growth within the department you're hired into and within other departments High levels of transparency in terms of goals, progress towards goals, specific long and short term plans, hiring of executive roles Decent to good benefits (PTO, health/life insurance, paid and floating holidays, etc) Leadership is open to feedback and treats the members of their team well Actively demonstrates their dedication to diversity and inclusive of all races, genders, sexual orientations, disabilities in training resources

Cons

Very few: Health insurance isn't top tier Company is new, so there are expected growing pains and turnover- many departments are still creating and revising training materials

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.

Pros

Very kind staff and great training program.

Cons

The expectations fluctuate. The managers are not very informed on what they're telling their teams which causes a lot of confusion. It seems like the department is just running on fumes sometimes with not many knowing what to do.

Pros

Hire Diversity and work Remote

Cons

This company hired 4 people in a training class and let them all go before the training was over giving nobody a chance. Extremely disrespectful to hire people for 1 month and send them out the door with 1 month severance. Disorganized company that is lean/greedy looking to drop IPO caring very little about individuals who work for them.
