Pros

A lot of really great people Pay felt fair (although bonuses and raises did not) Flexible enough with WFH as needed for appointments etc.

Cons

I left the company a year ago, and I feel like a different person. I didn't realize what the stress had done to me. I was road rage-y, always on edge, not sleeping well, felt like a constant failure, etc. The demands were always changing - I never had the same KPIs from one month to another. I never felt that the company trusted or respected marketing. Sales would constantly take our wins, but credit us for any failures. I watched the company make good people into terrible managers because of the lack of structure and support, and the high stress and demands. The health insurance was mid at best. Was hired under the pretense that there was room for growth. There were no internal promotions on the team. Our annual reviews and bonuses were moved back 3 times in the 2.5 years I worked there, and there was always a reason I wasn't eligible for 100% of my bonus. I know I'm not the only one with that experience. If you have other options, take them. It's simply not worth the stress.

Pros

Great people to work with. Coworkers turned true friends. The role is very dynamic. You will never be bored.

Cons

I could say many things but I’ll summarize with these points: Job stability feels very low and very high at the same time. You perform well (which is very difficult in a Texas market without selling a bit of your soul at least) you can do whatever. I mean whatever. Yet, in a given year your role, your pay, your manager, your office location, and your daily expectations will probably change. Hope you can keep up! If you can’t, better tell all the family that are now Goosehead clients because you had to pass training somehow. You could be successful in this role. I’d say 9/10 people aren’t but you could be the 10%. For the rest of us, it’s a stepping stone job that pays the bills. You’ll survive your year contract so you don’t pay 10k back to this company. Somehow you will. At what cost? Stay tuned.
