Pros

Benefits are decent. Pay is decent considering the experience required to get the job.

Cons

Nobody cares anymore. Every department is critically short staffed after the layoffs to the point nothing gets done. The company was a really cool place to be that was owned by the founders son. The culture was great then, people wanted to work together towards the company's goal. Since going public, nobody wants to work together and the managers are pushing arbitrary made up goals so hard that they're pushing the good talent away while filling their spots with under qualified and poorly trained people that don't know what they're doing. Leadership is absolutely clueless. They talk about how cool of a place it is but it's just a call center and it will never be anything more. All of the best place to work stuff is just trying to brainwash you to believe this is a place you should want to be but it's just not. If you're outside of their HQ in traverse city, Michigan then you are flatly nothing more than a number to them, and even then you're barely anything more.

Pros

Prior to going public, Hagerty had a family-oriented culture. It welcomed employee engagement and feedback with Open Door Surveys. Leadership was focused on providing the Best Customer Service Experience with first-call resolution. Call handling was well balanced and goals were achievable. It was a very productive and fun work environment.

Cons

In transitioning to going Public, Hagerty changed its culture from fostering positive employee engagement over to profit-focused and aggressive micromanagement. Multiple layoffs. Employee feedback and Open Door Surveys were eliminated. The promises of AIP and bonuses were an illusion as leadership constantly moved the goal post that prevented goal achievement. No payouts for employees meant more profits for Hagerty. High-pressure environment with non-stop calls. Complex customer calls count against you. Rushing through calls in order to meet goal requirements often meant customers did not get the service and support they needed.
