Pros

They have a 401(k) they offer benefits hours are fairly flexible with the brakes and lunches. Business casual dress. My coworkers were very nice

Cons

Their CRM program is outdated and difficult to manage. The two managers in San Diego were in a world of their own. The gentleman dedicates 80%of his time to one sales agent and the lady was always on her phone,late or gave little to no feed back. I had my time card changed several times without my knowledge. Lunches were placed on my time card when I took no lunch. The leads were purchase from 3to4 different internet sources so it was saturated with 'bad leads'. We were told there were no bad leads but when it came down to it monthly meetings shoulders that in fact they had a way to get top-tier leads to talk to your agents and low leads to low agents making it difficult to make more money. It's a good company they just have very little structure, The managers are really just sales people that can't manage but have that title. You're supposed to give the client the best rate but many times people with cherry pick the second or third best company to get a higher commission rate. If progressive gave the best rate you were told to try another company. You were told you had 16 to 20 companies to work with but really it was only six or seven but it sounds good to the clients if your name off some big companies. Every other week we're celebrating hitting a new goal but it's because they keep hiring more and more people. There is no work life balance

Pros

Good training for the most part. Some of the managers are ok. Great view of the river and downtown from the office.

Cons

VERY micro managed in general. Basically it felt like a "bully" environment and the business plan they seem to have for employee's is basically to threaten. Just my opinion, but it was a very unhealthy environment. Yes there were some "frat" guys that liked it, but most people I worked with were miserable.

Pros

The owners are kind and caring people. Their visions are the main reasons why I continue to be loyal and dedicated to the company. I also believe in what we are sell and our customers deserve the best service. Selling life insurance, an intangible product, is not easy, but is much needed. Most of our sales agents are dedicated and partner in with other departments to ensure our clients get what they deserve. Most upper management members are great listeners and do genuinely care. The naysayers and complainers are usually ones who are not willing to work long hours or go above and beyond. Stop being a clock watcher and make a difference by making positive contributions.

Cons

Our 401k is not the most attractive but glad we have one. Fostering teamwork in all departments is much needed and it takes all departments to maintain a successful company and unfortunately, teamwork is not our strength currently.
