Pros

Safe, conservative company. Claims department is outstanding! Most Home Office and State Office staff are there to help and are easy to work with. Has a family atmosphere.

Cons

If you are in an area with non-competitive rates, you will not succeed, regardless of how long you stay with the company. Do not consider taking over an agency unless it has a >$1mm BOB. Life products are OK but on a policy written today, it may be 2-3 months before you are paid for it. Mgmt. is only concerned with life production and agent count.

Pros

Most positions are 8-5 M-F and they do offer Sick, Personal, and PTO leave. They do tuition reimbursement and help pay for licensure or designation testing if approved by department. Wonderful coworkers and quite a bit of DEI is utilized.

Cons

Management is not afraid to blatantly play favorites. Upper management plays like they actually care about the employees but its hard to believe they do when a good portion of the positions dont even pay a living wage after taxes, while the CEO and Board of Directors make between $100k-800k annual base. They are also forcing RTO while not increasing pay much, and not considering the impact this is having on employees: such as car maintainence and child care. You'd think an insurance company would realize that its employees will be paying more in car insurance due to increased exposure from full time RTO. This is also regardless of whether you were told at hiring that the position is full time remote or hybrid.

Lacks Fair Leadership Practices

Pros

Talented peers at the individual contributor level who genuinely care about their work.

Cons

Leadership culture can feel toxic — decisions are often made based on personal relationships or perceptions rather than merit or measurable outcomes. Mentorship and career development pathways are poorly structured; feedback loops are inconsistent and often political. No clear decision-making or escalation framework, which leads to confusion, duplicated work, and burnout. security is lacking — employees hesitate to speak up or challenge ideas due to fear of bias or retaliation. Certain teams grant undue advantage to select employees based on image rather than contribution or results, creating a sense of unfairness.
