-great opportunity to learn about insurance, sales and corporate America -lots of opportunity to grow financially and professionally -opportunity to travel depending on role -work from home option -full benefits package (vision is the best! two pairs of glasses per year) -awesome, family like culture

Cons

-very patriarchal (meaning men are usually in leadership roles and "in charge" as producers and regional sales managers) -nepotism openly accepted and encouraged meaning people who have no skills, talents, or intellect are hired with competitive salaries just because they're related to someone in the company -takes a long time to receive a raise-must work very hard to receive a raise, and even then it may be meager -a lot of conflicting information given -systems can be cumbersome to navigate -high turn over in client service segment -somewhat incompetent practice leaders/subject matter experts

Pros

• Good in office dynamic with coworkers for those who worked in office

Cons

• Delayed promotion/raise - you’ll sign a contract in which your raise will be effect but delay it 2 1/2 months • unfair workload - management plays favorite and doesn’t even bother intervening on the issue, rather just gives more work. Multiple times I caught myself doing the work for my peers. • No structure - the office I worked at completely lacked structure where I was shadowing a colleague for 2 weeks before being expected to know what to do • Collision w/ OOO Staff - the out of office staff was very rude at times and because they aren’t in office, management doesn’t push the standards/expectations on them as much as people in office
