Pros

You will likely be working out of your home, which can allow some flexibility, but this flexibility comes with the expectation you produce early and often. Some of the regional leaders are very good and will come out and do all day ride-alongs on appointments to help you improve.

Cons

If you are a field sales agent, you will be largely on your own to sell a somewhat complicated, and in many cases, unwanted insurance product. You will be on a draw relatively quickly and without a few big sales you will struggle. Beware of entering a market where there is already one or more established agents who will already have established relationships with brokers in the area.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
