Pros

Each independant agent is different to work for. Mine is great and I enjoy what I do as a whole and really have noo complaints about selling overall.

Cons

The claims process at SF is not a very friendly system. I do not think for as large as the company is they get back to people in a timely manner which makes for the office level a hard transisition because the client base looks at us for that service and we are left with little to no answers for them. Same with when underwriting cancels someone and the client wants to speak to someone, there is just nobody for them to talk to. It seems there are more cancelations anymore then there are happy clients.

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
