      I worked at American National Insurance full-time

      Pros

      Working with a local agent, there can be a lot of opportunity to grow and develop, learning many life skills not only about insurance but how it also plays into other aspects of life. Pay was competitive, but no benefits offered from local agency.

      Cons

      The corporate office does not seem to take much input from the local agent and local agency staff who are taking the difficult calls from clients. The company continues to increase rates, and presents it in a unclear way with no help on how to best handle the calls about premium increases. Also, many issues with company provided software and website, but no clear way to submit suggestions. When a suggestion is made to improve, it never seems to go anywhere. Also, the culture of the company is very male-dominant and is plagued with religious favoritism.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to local agencies about their concerns with programs, rate increases, etc. Take these requests seriously and offer real-world help to solve the problems. Work with agents who handle these issues on a daily basis to best help other agents.

      Pros

      Some great people. Many I am still friends with and see and talk to weekly.

      Cons

      Managment is TERRIBLE. When I started the claims division was split between managers. It was a great place to work. Our claims manager was always willing to give support and compliment great work when earned. She retired and the place quickly turned into a house of horrors. People crying in the halls. Disciplinary write ups for little or no reason. It is not just the industry I worked for several other insurance companies for many years and was NEVER given a bad review in 25 years. This place is hell.

      Advice to Management

      Find new careers.

      Once you're licensed, its commission based.

      Pros

      You get a check. They make you feel like a piece of crap if that is considered a PRO.

      Cons

      Will lie to you, do not try to help promote you in anyway. Only will help who they want and if you are not in the group they will give excuse after excuse why you cannot be promoted. Only company I know where you have experience, college education, excellent reviews and still cannot get anywhere. They were not willing to help advance you at all.

      Advice to Management

      Maybe they should concentrate and building their staff up and making them better instead of keeping their thumb on them and controlling everything and then lying about it like they did not have any control. Very political and I am not playing the games.

      We have flexible hours of 37.5 hour weeks with every other Friday off. It is a family oriented company.

      Cons

      Benefits are not very good. There are no annual bonuses. Health insurance is costly and not very good.

      Advice to Management

      Implement a real bonus program.

      I loved my time here. Very relaxed environment and good pay for the work!

      Cons

      Fellow employees were overly negative about being "busy". Guess what, you'd have no job if we weren't.

      Advice to Management

      Get rid of or quit praising negative Nancy's just because they've stuck around a while.
