Pros

multiple sales trainings - nice coworkers

Cons

Deserves Negative Stars - Compensation at this office is below industry standards, with both hourly wages and commission rates on the low side. The agency owner frequently adds new responsibilities without corresponding increases in pay, often framing these additional tasks as “easy” and comparing the workload favorably to other offices, though in reality, the demands and expectations can be quite challenging. While the initial impression of the agency owner may seem positive, over time it becomes clear that the leadership style can be harsh and unsupportive. Constructive feedback is sometimes delivered publicly and can feel more critical than encouraging. Recognition for achievements tends to be minimal or understated. The office experiences high turnover, indicating difficulty in retaining staff long-term. Client feedback suggests that responsiveness is lacking, as the agency owner appears focused more on sales numbers and personal recognition than on building strong client relationships. There is also a contradictory approach to client interactions, discouraging longer conversations while expecting high client retention. Overall, I would recommend carefully considering other opportunities before joining this agency.

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
