Brown & Brown Insurance Reviews

Pros

- Tremendous opportunity here for salespeople - Extremely stable industry (ie: we hired during the pandemic, largely unaffected by economic uncertainty compared to other industries) - Very high income ceiling (there is a commitment to realize the ceiling = 5-10 years) - Well run organization. This is a place you could work at and legitimately retire from. No workplace is perfect but Brown & Brown Northwest really does a phenomenal job of seeking to always do best by the employees and their clients - Although this is a publicly traded company they have a decentralized model allows for local decision-making authority - If you're willing to work HARD and are fully committed there are truly very little limitations on your trajectory career and income-wise - Your leadership will equip you with whatever you need to be successful if you're one of the folks who leads from the front and puts in the work - Fantastic training program for new salespeople with zero insurance experience - There is a tremendous culture of "meritocracy", professionalism, integrity, and hustle (and it's evidenced by local and regional leadership - many of them started within the organization and grew into leadership positions - they walk the talk)

Cons

- Being a producer is not for everyone: You're going to work a lot - this isn't just a "I want to golf a ton" type of job - be prepared to work 60 hour weeks and work extremely diligently - Work-Life balance can be a challenge, especially at certain times of the year when everything hits the fan - this is not a negative specific to Brown & Brown - any high income potential job will require a good amount of time and intentionality - The learning curve of understanding and truly becoming an insurance expert is not a 1-2 year process (it takes time) - This not a "get-rich-quick" type of job - you're looking at a solid commitment of 5-10 years (and probably longer to reach the upper echelon) to realize some of the income ceiling you're wanting to experience (not necessarily a con but you need to know the sacrifice required up-front and what you're getting in to)

Pros

Was well compensated as a former owner.

Cons

A bucket shop, A hard sell with little differentiation.
