Pros

Acquiring new agencies and sharing carriers.

Cons

Do not act quickly to replace roles. Use acquisitions after the first year to move books of business instead of hiring to replace employees. Incredibly slow to act. Reactive not proactive. Will promise you a promotion to stay but will not deliver or will give to someone else.

Pros

401K match. Work from home flexibility, depending on the office you’re in.

Cons

Horribly managed. No training or competent leadership. World’s growth strategy is buying agencies & MGA’s. They make the purchase, have 1 or 2 meetings reviewing the current books and move on to the next. There is no synergy. The right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing. Retail agents are extremely rude and have poor reputations. They have a sense of entitlement, which is bizarre because most, if not all, world retail agents - especially in New Jersey - simply lie about underwriting and don’t actually know how to evaluate risks. Shady AF and zero loyalty. The CEO can barely speak intellectually and a terrible public speaker. HR is laughable, almost as if they do not have any actual HR training.

Toxic employer; bullying and favoritism

Pros

Coworkers are nice and supportive Health insurance is decent 401k match of 4 percent with ROTH option available

Cons

I have a disability (ASD), and get anxiety. Despite hitting a 3/5 on my review, my supervisor made some bogus claim of underperformance and put me on a PIP, while I was going through bereavement. I am on disability, mourning the loss of a loved one, with moments of being bullied playing on repeat. Stay away!
