      Spend/work with a little more on your current employees so turnover goes down. Stop figuring out ways to hire more people down the road.

      Pros

      Friends and relationships with employees

      Cons

      Unskilled management and admin in Springfield Mo. Former college athletes who hire new employees as managers over skilled tenured employees so their own incompetancy is not questioned. Virtually no one likes the director or vp's in Springfield mo and have no confidence in their decision making skills

      Advice to Management

      Let a proven insurance business leader guide the company not ex jocks. Trust over dedicated employees not college children. Pls wake up Galveston you asleep at the wheel while Springfield management sinks your company
