Pay is the only good part of this company.

Owner has huge ego, no follow thru. Cliques thrive due to lack of true leadership. Swamp like atmosphere.

Pros

None. Simply ask for FORMER employee references as follows: Ask for 4 from their Harbor Springs Office Ask for at least 8 from their insurance division in Grand Rapids Ask for at least 5 from their loss prevention division in GR They check your references so why shouldn't you check theirs?? If you do not receive all of the above and contact them. WALK AWAY!

Cons

Owners are selfish, spend more than they have (on themselves not on employees), owners do not take care of their employees (except maybe 2-3), owners will promise you things and string you along that never come to fruition, the President has a hot temper and leads out of fear. Very degrading and condescending to employees.

Pros

I am unable to think of any.

Cons

As a member of the insurance industry for quite some time, I can say that I've never seen an agency as poorly managed as Collins & Associates. I strongly feel that their employee turnover rate that grossly exceeds the industry average is a direct reflection of this. They appear charming prior to starting with them, but it's all over once you're on their hook. As a rational and experienced insurance professional, I strongly recommend that nobody makes the same mistake I made by joining Collins.
