          Pros

          You can move up fast and it's fairly easy to get raises. Great work life balance and a very family oriented company.

          Cons

          Work can be kind of boring sometimes. Mostly you're just stuck in an office all day with not a lot of human interaction.

              Cons

              Brookfield acquired American National in May 2022 and have started to micromanage everything and can be demanding and require additional work outside your normal role. The other downside is a lack of bonus or pay increases in lower levels of the company.

                Work life balance time management

                Cons

                No benefits, No support, No advertising, Terrible rates, What you sign up for will change and not your choice, Insurance rates are extremely high. Agents are NOT valued by the company or regional managers. The company cares about profits over doing the right thing for clients. NO integrity from local management. When they say you will have your own business that means you will have no support but at the same time you NEVER own your business or policies.

                  Pros

                  Management communicated with the company throughout the pandemic. We quickly pivoted to 100% WFH and just switched back to the office part time in June ,2021. Work life balance is good Office is nice with high cubicle walls instead of open floor plan Great benefits

                  Cons

                  Supporting some legacy systems are difficult Compensation could be better Lots of red tape and bureaucracy

                    I work with a great team.

                    Cons

                    They made everyone return to the office full time removing the work life balance that everyone loved. Recently it has been revealed that there is salary band overlap/compression in my department and that alone is pretty unsettling.

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

                      I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
