Pros

Hybrid schedule you only need to be in office for three days a week

Cons

Schedule, work-life balance is not great, working 7-10 days in a row for no real reason, high turnover, no time for a connection to coworkers or work enviroment.

Thank you for your review. Our hybrid work model is here to stay, with employees in the office Tuesday–Thursday, and the opportunity to work from home on Monday and Friday. One of our employee values is for everyone to enjoy a positive work/life balance. We strive to have activities and events throughout the year that foster engagement within the team, department, and company. I encourage you to have a conversation with your supervisor about your situation. Again, thank you for your feedback. Elisha Williams – Chief Customer Service and Operations Officer

Pros

Work from home and independently without having a manager looking over your shoulder. Good job if you don't mind cold calling in person and hunting for new accounts. I enjoyed developing relationships with my accounts helping them with their insurance needs and educating them on current trends in the Dealer market and insurance trends.

Cons

Since you work from home management assumes that you are slacking off. They require you to submit insurance quotes, Most Account Managers often submit quotes that they know will be impossible to close because of the prospect's loss record. This just gums up the underwriting process and delays quotes for the real accounts you are trying to close.
