Brown & Brown Insurance Reviews

Cons

They are working to improve in the technology area with plans for upgraded IT systems and computer programs which is a very positive move.

Cons

Formalized training could be expanded

Cons

No cons to comment on.

Cons

Hard to grow business here

Cons

Over-worked, under-paid, micro-managed, obsolete technology that makes getting anything done difficult, only to be yelled at for not moving fast enough. No real presence in the community. If you are not in sales then you are absolutely not valued, or appreciated although the account managers are the ones that do all the work for the producers. The culture is non-existent with major favoritism.

Cons

Sometimes it's easy to think you're not getting anywhere, just keep at it and keep putting in the work!

Cons

Work overload. There is too much work for each Account Manager to handle.

Cons

I suspect that experiences vary wildly depending on which Brown & Brown office an employee works at. In general, very little attention paid to customer service or training of employees. Little room for advancement; check out how few women are in on board or in upper level management positions. I worked for an office that was, prior to being purchased by Brown & Brown, a large, well respected family owned agency. Older employees and those making decent salaries were downsized/positions eliminated after agency was purchased. Brown & Brown salaries are low for the industry-- and long term employees are let go & replaced with much lower paid, less educated, and less experienced employees.

Cons

Promises for growth and career advancement never materialize, constantly moving the "carrot" to avoid promoting you and allowing you to grow beyond where you are, unless you are "in" with the right people. Very low pay in comparison to other companies. Feels like high school all over again, very clique-y and lots of backstabbing and gossip going on. Some middle management are great, but others seem to be on a power trip and want to keep their thumb on you, not help you succeed. They seem annoyed when you ask questions and need help learning something. Training is extremely minimal and you are left to flounder.

Cons

Very reluctant when it comes to raises, poor benefits, and constantly unreasonable deadlines
