Pros

They pay for your license.

Cons

This company is a real sweatshop - the hours are long and the pay is not commensurate of the time you put in. Also you don't get equity in building your own book of business, which is where the money actually is in insurance. This is an agency that acts like a direct channel carrier (Allstate, Statefarm, etc.) with none of the benefits of being at an insurance brokerage. STAY FAR AWAY.

Goosehead Insurance Response
3y
We are sorry to hear your experience was out of the norm. Our corporate account executive team has 2 clear career paths to equity - through corporate leadership and our franchise launch program. For those who apply for the launch program, you create a path to equity through book ownership. We also have an option for those desiring a high income/truly autonomous role within our account executive team - without pursuing additional management responsibilities. We go over these options in depth during our recruiting process and are happy to share resources and real-life examples of successful team members in all paths! We are sincerely sorry that this was not your experience and are eager to provide clarity for all candidates moving forward.

Pros

Broad Product Access: Agents leverage an expansive portfolio of top insurance carriers rather than being forced to sell a single brand. Passive Income Potential: Sales reps earn uncapped commissions on new business alongside recurring residual income from policy renewals. Strong Peer Culture: The workforce is described as highly motivated, energetic, and welcoming, offering a great environment for young professionals. Dedicated Service Support: Separate service and back-office teams handle ongoing client management, allowing sales agents to focus strictly on closing new business. Professional Development: The firm covers the cost of licensing exams and provides structured Salesforce and business development training. Standard Corporate Perks: Full-time corporate staff receive a complete Goosehead Insurance Employee Benefits Package, including a 401(k) match and an employee stock purchase plan.

Cons

No cons to mention here. - this is a job, you can make it great if you care about what you do and the relationships you are building.
