Pros

The remote work - but even that has been taken away

Cons

If leadership were truly self-aware, they’d be studying these reviews carefully. Over the past year, the company has shown clear signs of decline, and the recently installed leadership team appears to be compounding the issue rather than stabilizing it. We are already seeing high-performing billers exit. How many more will it take before this becomes a pattern worth addressing? A recent company-wide email declared that “we MUST grow this year, no exceptions,” which reflects a troubling disconnect from market realities. Agency recruiting is inherently cyclical, and the broader market has been soft across the industry — including among competitors. Imposing aggressive, unattainable KPIs in a down cycle will not manufacture growth. It will, however, push out the very producers the company depends on. Without a more grounded and market-aware leadership approach, the trajectory is concerning.

Pros

In some locations across the country, they are still remote, although most markets are going back to a hybrid schedule, with more to come.

Cons

Over the past five years, the company has steadily declined, losing many talented managers and producers due to poor leadership decisions—especially repeated negative changes to compensation, commissions, and manager bonuses. As a result, most high-performing recruiters and managers between the ages of 25 and 45 have left, leaving primarily long-tenured employees who are resistant to change and/or are simply comfortable and close to retirement and don't want to rock the boat. The remaining leaders that report into the president are primarily your typical "yes men" types, who agree with whatever the new flavor of the month is from a strategy perspective. Nearly all the Market Directors and Trainers have departed in the past year, except for the longtime leaders who are disconnected from modern tools, methods, and market changes. Most of the remaining leaders can barely navigate Salesforce and Bullhorn, and were last in production long before the age of LinkedIn. Leadership relies heavily on pressure, metrics, and fear-based management, while aggressively enforcing noncompetes against employees they’ve driven away through their own actions. Meanwhile, they have no problem tying to poach talent from their competition. Seems a little two-faced, doesn't it? I worked here for a pretty long time, and it’s disappointing to see what it has become. If you’re considering working here, I strongly encourage you to consider this experience, and look at the other reviews that pretty much mirroring my experience.
