Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Co. Reviews

Pros

I really didn't know what to expect when I started. I had some concerns about the 1099 role and all that comes with it. I have been working here at the Lakewood Ranch office for a little over a month. The support and training from the leadership group has been fantastic. I don't know exactly how other groups work but Justin Reynolds and his leadership team go out of their way to help me succeed. I have hit my first...

No cons for the OKC office but I’m sure every office is slightly different depending on people.

Advice to Management

Keep encouraging your people and setting the standard.

Pros

Very lenient and casual. Usually on your own with no supervision.

Cons

Little to no training. You are basically making money for someone else who does nothing to help you. Very difficult product to sell.

Pros

Pay is great for the recruiter position

Cons

Manager is a user and an abuser. She is paranoid of everyone to the point of creating situations that shouldn't exist. Before you know it you question everything you do. The moment you question or seem "disloyal" you are excommunicated and basically put on an island. Cutting all resources and even coaching staff to ignore you, not provide resources, etc. The culture tends to push the good people away so the environment...

Advice to Management

Create a culture of encouragement and teamwork. Build your people up instead of beating them down. Coach, teach and mentor your people instead of pushing them away.

Pros

The support and morale is amazing!

Cons

Technology is a little archaic. They still utilize fax machines; the programs are not user friendly;

Pros

Set your own hours, nice people you work with.

Cons

100% commission, low pay for a ton of work. Very little support for the division I was in (direct, small business) the money is with the brokers and it takes forever to get in with any of them. I signed one broker and he never gave me any leads, I gave him 6. Colonial just lost interest in supporting this division. It just isn't worth the effort I put in. No chance for advancement unless sales are thru the roof which...

Advice to Management

More support for the direct business.

Pros

It is a great company with excellent products to offer. I feel confident about selling the products because I have purchased them for myself in the past. My manager Maria Padilla is the best!! She has given me great support with my leads and is teaching me all I need to know to be successful. She is an excellent manager who really cares about me and wants me to be successful.

Cons

I have no cons so far.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

When everything falls into place there can be some large payouts.

Cons

No real consistancy or structure. You are pretty much on your own.
