Pros

Great pay, competitive benefits, and annual raises

Cons

This company makes it impossible to be a parent. They do not give sick time, it must be earned. They do not allow you to work from home anymore, even though that was the biggest selling point used by HR for years. They made it a point to say it is inexcusable to work from home even if your children are sick. You will be penalized for using PTO as sick time, and if you’re out of PTO then you will punished further. You will be made to choose between your family and your employer frequently and you’re expected to choose your employer if you want an annual raise as you will be considered “average” otherwise and that is factored into your raise consideration. You are not allowed to have any pride flags or memorabilia at your desk as it is “unprofessional.” In the years I have been here, I have seen more and more stripped from their employees while they report record breaking profits year over year. Please be cautious when signing that contract!

Pros

Great people to work with. Coworkers turned true friends. The role is very dynamic. You will never be bored.

Cons

I could say many things but I’ll summarize with these points: Job stability feels very low and very high at the same time. You perform well (which is very difficult in a Texas market without selling a bit of your soul at least) you can do whatever. I mean whatever. Yet, in a given year your role, your pay, your manager, your office location, and your daily expectations will probably change. Hope you can keep up! If you can’t, better tell all the family that are now Goosehead clients because you had to pass training somehow. You could be successful in this role. I’d say 9/10 people aren’t but you could be the 10%. For the rest of us, it’s a stepping stone job that pays the bills. You’ll survive your year contract so you don’t pay 10k back to this company. Somehow you will. At what cost? Stay tuned.
