Pros

Blue cross blue shield health benefits with 3 different tiers to choose from Nice game room with free snacks, energy drinks, sodas, la croix Laidback culture Flexible hybrid environment There's a "team bubble" where your manager has a lot of say with your pay/responsibilities Bonuses RT pays more than most Easy system to understand

Cons

It is a money driven industry, so brokers are always trying to grow while always being understaffed as a team. High stress with little support High turnover rate Constant understaffing Brokers are mostly exempt from the requirement to be in office but lower level employees are required to come in Some brokers are unfair with their bonuses Broker gets to decide when raises are given on an annual basis ; the process should be automated due to inflation and the company's annual revenue increases Not a diverse office (boys club / primarily FSU Greek life)

There is a lot to unpack in this review, and we want to begin by thanking you for your honest opinion. Insurance brokerage can be a high-stress industry and it is important that we remember to show appreciation. To that end, we have developed and continue to grow our leadership training programs, provide a variety of well-being support benefits, and a more robust employee relations team who are here to help.

Pros

Can be a great place to work if you’re one of the chosen ones. Benefits and pay are great. Company is very flexible and creates a good work/life balance.

Cons

No real career advancement unless you are well liked by management/higher ups. This place thrives on favoritism. You’re just a number if you’re not chosen by management. If you’re not well liked you are disposable.
