Great Company, Great Place to Work

Recommend

Pros

You start out with a salary and have the opportunity to get big bonuses every quarter. They set you up in an office, they pay the rent, marketing, staff, everything. You get to learn the business and be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Cons

New commission only, you do not collect commission on any renewal business (even business you write) while you are salary. The products are good, but not as innovative as our competitors. They do very little marketing, so many people have never heard of Shelter. There is a life quota every quarter, miss it once and you go on probation, miss it again and you're fired. But the quota is very manageable.

Excellent place to work

Pros

1. Excellent flexibility with taking time off. 2. Treated like adult professionals. Don't take this for granted, as that's not true of many employers. 3. Work with great colleagues. Good atmosphere, positive attitudes for the most part. 4. Job stability. I've been here for more than 20 years and have never worried about losing my job. 5. The company contributes handsomely to our 401(k).

Cons

1. Pay is average/below-average. 2. Like most places, we have our share of rules that are in place "just because that's the way we've always done it". 3. Some people seem to have been promoted beyond their competence. But that's true in many places.

The pay isn't enough to support a family, too much busy work.
