INSURHAUS Reviews

Training: - Training is minimal; the norm is to be trained with a veteran employee for at most one work week, then new hires are set on their own to make calls and start selling (with or without a license, but that must be obtained within one month) Management/Staff: - Management is reluctant to listen to any ideas the employees have, ending up in frequent verbal arguments which can be heard throughout the office - Except for newer employees who are willing to help (luckily I had one), most staff is not willing to train new employees. The veteran staff is very open in expressing their disgust with new hires (which I heard on multiple occasions) Pay: - Employees will be set up as an Independent Contractor (10-99), as Insurhaus does not offer W-4 - Taxes will need to be paid back; as I learned that can be very expensive - Although you are an Independent Contractor, you are required to be in the office during a set time with a set lunch - Sales goal is set at $120,000 per month in order to get 15% commission - There are no benefits such as health care, 401-K, etc. Upon leaving the company: - It is also normal that when a two-week notice is put in, management will tell the employee to leave within the next few hours (I was not expecting this, however staff I became close with told me to prepare for this) - Documents will continue to be sent to clients with your name on them for weeks or sometimes months after you left - Final paycheck may be shorted as they will deduct additional hours for any time you took off (although that time was previously deducted)

Sometimes there is a lack of explaining of what needs to be done and how but i wouldn't consider this a big con.
