Not really a Great Place to Work

Pros

Financially sound company, good business model, knowledgeable people, good benefits and perks (pension, gym, café, flex hours etc) and most of the people are great. Training and education support are wonderful.

Cons

A few people make life miserable at what could be a Great Place to Work, but really isn't despite being on the "list" which they buy their way on to with perks and free day of PTO. A keep your head down and do what you are told yes-man culture. And people do it because the pay and benefits are good or because they just want to promote at all cost or there aren't other ins companies in town as an alternative. They say open, honest, engagement, team etc...but allow inconsistent behavior by execs. Routinely saw people yelled at and bullied in front of others. No one will do anything even though top management knows the offenders. People are afraid to speak up. If you do, there is retribution. People lie about others to get ahead, and it works! Management plays favorites. Doesn't even ask for the other side, nor listen if it is given.

Pros

Benefits, small $30000 salary, car.

Cons

I would politely but immediately pass on this opportunity. They pay a paltry salary and only have two times through the year to make any real money. Marching toward benefit enrollment effective dates on 1-1 and 7-1. The rest of the year you will be scratching to make quota with your manager riding your back every step of the way and this is in a developed territory. If you are in an undeveloped or sparsely populated territory forget it you cannot make quota. The turnover is so high that district managers are constantly on the chopping block for not being able to "hire right" or keep employees. Managements sales line is "we want this to be your last job" they developed this to explain away the high turnover. When you interview you will notice they SELL you the opportunity instead of you selling your self to them. Almost like MLM. Weird. There's a reason for this.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience but appreciate your feedback. We hope you discussed these concerns with HR and during your exit interview so they can be addressed. Unlike many sales positions, we offer a base salary in addition to monthly commissions instead of commissions only. Our turnover for sales positions was just 3.6 percent in 2014 and 5.7 percent in 2013. In addition, 39 percent of our Colleagues have worked at American Fidelity for more than 10 years and our average tenure is around 11 years. Out of our regional managers, we have not had any resignations or terminations over the past few years.
