Combined Insurance Employee Reviews about "positive mental attitude"

Pros

The workplace environment is amazing with the pma Philosophy( positive mental attitude) I am in charge of my schedule and income. They train at all levels after 13 yes I still get great training and support from my management team.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

The emphasis on the importance of having a positive mental attitude.

Advice to Management

Be more upfront about the job not being for everyone due to not getting paid much at beginning or paid at all during the training for the test. If you are going to preach pma make sure you can practice it. Being excessively controlling and impatient is not what pma is about.

Pros

This is by far the best thing that has ever been presented to me! To start the amount of support this organization gives you is incredible and take it from a guy who has been in sales for 6 years and I was selling cars. Also take it from a guy who grew up in a bad area and very poor so I did not come from money and am self made and this company helped me get where I am today. This company is based on positivity PMA to be exact and that stands for positive mental attitude. Also they recognize you for everything you do good never what your doing wrong which does wonders for your confidence. Sounds pretty good so far doesn’t it? It gets even better! Their is a ton of room for growth so take me as an example I started as a new agent and I’ve been with the company for 15 weeks. In those 15 weeks I’ve been promoted two times and have been rewarded a 27% pay raise! Now I’m the Account Executive of the Niagara Region! Now if your thinking this is to good to be true it’s not and the pay is amazing you have weekly bonuses , monthly bonuses and yearly bonuses not including the trips they send you on! For example this year we’re going to Ireland like that’s amazing and it’s all paid for! So again use me as an example I take home after taxes between $1,400 - $1,900!!! Take home!!! Like this is real money and is a real pay and is achievable in just a short 14 weeks. If your out there trying to figure out what you want in life and want an opportunity to become very successful this is the place to be but WAIT theirs more!!! They have an amazing full benefits package with a phenomenal 401k plan. Also you can buy into company stocks at a 15% discount! This company has changed my life and I’m 24 with no insurance sales experience. So if your reading this and think this is to good to be true all I can say is give it a shot and see it for your self this changed my life and I’m writing this review so we as an company can change your life as well. Also Incase if your wondering I love my career I wake up every morning happy to go to work and I can’t say I have ever had they feeling before in my life so if you are not happy where you are in your life give this a try and see because it changes lives.

Advice to Management

Combined Insurance is an excellent company to work for. Their training and compassion for employees to succeed is unmatched, and the earning potential is unlimited. In addition, they offer amazing benefits including healthcare and 401k. Everyone has a great positive mental attitude to keep you motivated and inspired to work hard.

Advice to Management

The management team in the Buffalo branch is amazing. They all want their agents to succeed and are very helpful. This is the best open door policy company I have ever worked for.

Pros

Working internally for Combined in Chicago is absolutely the best job I've had. The Positive Mental Attitude pillar is upheld by every person I work with and meet almost every day. I think that attitude is fostered by the supportive, creative and innovative environment where we are all encouraged to learn every day. It doesn't hurt to have great benefits and transparent relationships with upper management either. This is truly a special place to work! I highly recommend Combined for people just starting out in finance, actuarial, or underwriting.

Advice to Management

Keep encouraging employees to share their ideas and thoughts in meetings where they are the least experienced in the room. Keep making time to explain concepts in depth and in person to your staff because they will appreciate the time you take to help them develop their insurance acumen. Keep being flexible with scheduling, working from home, PTO days.

Pros

I started working for Combined Insurance in December and I must say this is the best opportunity I could find to build my career. I didn't come from an insurance industry background, and I was a little skeptical about changing my career path, but after I had an interview with HR and management to learn more about this company and career growth opportunity, I decided to take it to the next level. From that day on, I received all the training and support I needed to be successful, including one week training with all expenses paid in Chicago. In addition, the sales manager is constantly providing leads and on the field training & support to guarantee your financial success and growth within the company from day one, plus the company provides weekly bonus and other awesome incentives! You will have plenty of appointments and referrals if you follow the system. I like the flexible schedule with uncapped income potential. I highly recommend working for Combined Insurance, and I also share the company philosophy of success in three simple words: Positive Mental Attitude - PMA.

Pros

Paid training in Chicago is spectacular!
Good products.
Positive Mental Attitude approach is kinda dumb but it works!

Advice to Management

Enjoy living off your residual commissions because no new business is going to happen.

Pros

Excellent Company where your earning potential is unlimited as well as advancement. I started my career with Combined in February of 2016 became An Account Executive within three months and a Territory Manager within my first six months with this company. We at Combined believe in always having and Positive Mental Attitude, with the tools no training I have received I can accomplish anything. I recommend Combined Insurance to anyone whom has the desire to help protect people along with making a great living

Advice to Management

My advice to managers still in contact with your agents, account executive, and territory managers.

Pros

Wes Wickum, Dean Mueller and Kim Lambert are an amazing team. They are very supportive and teach you how to be a success! Great training and leadership. I worked for two other insurance companies and found the training to be lacking. Enjoyed meeting the CEO and other support staff during training. Great compensation and easy product to sell if you keep a Positive Mental Attitude!! I love making great commissions and bonuses. Massive opportunities for the right people, the ones that want to be a success and work hard to make it happen.

Advice to Management

I enjoyed my time in Chicago, really enjoyed my teacher Kieth Reich ... and ofcourse, many thanks to Wes Wickum, Dean Mueller and Kim Lambert .. THE BEST!!!!

Pros

Received great sales training at corporate office. Company equips you with electronic tools, sales materials and business cards to assist with helping you succeed. Their focus is on PMA - positive, mental attitude.

Advice to Management

Allow agents to cultivate their clients and benefit from their referrals before recycling. Take chargebacks on the back end of the commission not on the advance. Provide a structured training schedule if daily attendance is required. Consider providing a salary base if agents are classified as employees.
