Pros

Monday thru Friday and working in the AC I guess

Cons

Leads that come in are blasted out to every insurance provider so anyone you talk to is getting several quotes. Commodity business, just a race to the bottom in pricing. Low base pay, unlivable unless you’re 19-20 and just getting started and still living at home. Asked to bring in 50+ names of people you can sell to (friends and family -_-) Spend 50-60% of my day calling aged leads. Commission rate is so low. The real money is in owning an agency or being independent. Also no insurance lol. So you’re already making so little that I don’t even have health insurance because I can’t afford it.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
