Pros

Good health, vision and dental benefits with employer contribution. Pension and 401K plan, with company matching. The older executives and managers are very knowledgeable and helpful with furthering your career.

Cons

Over the last five to six years upper management in the NE zone began changing over every two years or so. Therefore new ideas were implemented but never seen to the end. This has bred lack of communication, inconsistency and low morale. Due to company downsizing and office closings older executives and management are being pushed into early retirement. These are the people who actually cared and assisted those beneath them with achieving their goals. The new management doesn't seem to have the same mentality and employees are leaving. This was once a career company, not it's just a job.

Salaries in certain areas not commensurate with experience or similar jobs at other companies. For true career advancement, must be flexible to move to other parts of the country.

Pros

mon-fri but that will change anytime the agent thinks it is needed.

Cons

Agent is never there and expects you to grow his agency as he wants but never is there to tell you how that is. Unrealistic goals set for ALL employees. Office manager is very nice but only wants to do service work and be left alone. Agent can barely write an auto policy and often tells customers what ever he thinks is best even if it is untrue. You are promised 40k a year pay because of commission but DO NOT expect any more than 30K not matter what and that is being very optimistic. You be told do to whatever it takes to set appointments for the agent to meet with current customers. Good luck because if the agent has something fun to do that day or week he will ask you to reschedule it. Only take this job if you are very very very desperate!
