Pros

Young and friendly demographic, for the most part. If you work here long enough you will leave with a lot of friends and people you will keep in touch with after you leave. Growth opportunities. New positions are opening up each day. If you are a good employee, you can also transfer departments pretty easily. Most managers are open to it. Stable company/industry Great experience. You will be exposed to many different scenarios and very cool projects that will give you experience that you can take with you after you leave.

Cons

The job you are evaluated on isnt always the job that you do. Which makes it difficult to advance and get promoted. They underpay their most loyal employees, but give new employees fair compensation. If you want to be paid what you are worth, or even industry standard, you are better off resigning and rejoining Goosehead at a later time. Can be high stress. Project deadlines don't always make sense and are decided on by exec leadership. It's "h In the past year they have cut PTO, reduced bonuses, and threatened to take away WFH opportunities. Less and less money in your pocket, and it seems like a new change comes every 6 months.

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.
