Pros

Solid philosophy with Living Balance Sheet; some great people in Home Office; many amazing General Agents. Protection 1st Philosophy is the only proper way to work with clients.

Cons

The true talent in the Home Office has been slashed to the bone, and replaced with people with NO actual field experience, which will result in the slow death of the high quality programs offered over the last 5 years. The new Head of Distribution is a 401K/ Wholesaler expert, but lacks the basic understanding of what an agency needs to flourish. This is evident by the cuts made and the newly minted replacements. Hiring the wrong female just to hit a quota, will result severe backlash.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
