      Terribly Run Company

      Pros

      Hiring process was good, though I did not realize the turnover was so high

      Cons

      Terrible business model and poor management. When I was there employees cam and left at will all day long with no management oversight. After I was hired I was advised no raises - ever, you are paid what you were hired for. Hopefully you can qualify for a bonus at some point, but it is insurance oriented and businesses buy insurance because they don't know what might happen to them. If there are a lot of losses in your branch - no bonus no matter how much your sales/business has increased. No one there understands insurance or what the laws are for customers, I don't even understand how they are allowed to operate in California.

      Poorly managed, lack of teamwork

      Pros

      Overall negative experience. Has a lot of services and support available, just not well managed at this branch.

      Cons

      The manager had no staffing experience and was selling services to clients that he had no comprehension of what it required, as well as the only management technique he possessed was to fire people. Staff turned completely over three times in a year, leading to no one knowing what to do and a "figure it out yourself" attitude. Vacation pay is not automatic the first year there, never worked for a company so cheap. Zero teamwork among staff, I have never asked a co-worker for help with something and they say-" no, I have my own stuff to worry about."
