Pros

-Plenty of freedom to build your business the way you see fit. -Lower fees for new agents than some of the other insurance carriers

Cons

-There is very little ongoing training that you don't have to pay for out of pocket. Management strongly encourages you to get more licenses or take sales classes, but you have to pay for all of it. - New employees are milked for their low-hanging fruit, and then discarded.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
