Goosehead Insurance Reviews

Pros

When you walk in the door you are immediately greeted by people that sincerely love their jobs. You work alongside driven, motivated and hard working people day in and day out. They only hire the best of the best. Culture like this is extremely rare, I know first hand.

Cons

The Foodsby delivery service could use a few more options :)

Pros

I started at Goosehead right out of college and it was the best choice I could have made. I have been developed professionally, personally and financially. Goosehead is the best business model hand down in the insurance space. We are very competitive and have a winning strategy. It is very rewarding to educate others of how we are disrupting the industry and helping put others in a better situation professionally and...

Cons

This isn't so much a con, but want to acknowledge this company is not for someone looking for an easy 9-5 job. Goosehead is looking for driven individuals with the grit to not give up when things get hard. In any sales job there is going to be ups and downs and that isn't any different at Goosehead. If you stay the course and work hard you will be rewarded. Years 1-2 are the hardest.

Pros

Let me start by saying, this is a great opportunity for college grads who have no experience and are looking for their first office job with a salary and consistent schedule. If you have nothing to compare it to and love to drink on the job, you'll think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Also, if you legitimately love property and casualty insurance, here's the place for you. The training program I was apart...

Cons

When you interview or speak with anyone employed there, you will hear over and over that the best part of working here is "the people." This is true. Why is this true? There is literally no other redeeming or enjoyable aspect working here. This is a salaried job (with no overtime) which should be hourly. The company has done an amazing job catering their recruiting to those fresh out of college looking for a salaried...

Advice to Management

Turn this into any hourly gig and let people have time to themselves. You're working everyone to the bone while offering no real support to or taking feedback from anyone in service.

Pros

Most of the people are wonderful I learned extreme self-discipline and how to efficiently multi-task under pressure

Cons

Please take this and the other negative reviews into consideration. The negative reviews are the true ones. The positive reviews are there because we were told to write them when a negative review was received. First and foremost, know that this is a call center and as such you will be micromanaged every second of every workday. I think they're getting better in the hiring process but for me and many others, we were...

Advice to Management

(This advice is directed toward upper-management and the c-suite as floor management see all of this firsthand and do nothing.) Please, please, please realize that the favoritism between team leads, team managers, and department directors is dragging your company down. There needs to be business relationships between people in these positions and less "best pals" relationships. It creates a huge conflict-of-interest...

Pros

Potential to make a lot of money, good upper management

Cons

Work VERY long hours and maybe will see a pay off, lots of cold calling

Pros

You are in control of your future, the harder you work the more money you make. The fact that Goosehead is a meritocracy differentiates it from the competitors. There are several reviews I have seen from employees who are bitter because they didn't get a big payday from not working and not going above and beyond. If you're not an ambitious person this is not the place for you and that is okay, there are plenty of other...

Cons

The work requires stamina

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing and try to find ways to further the careers of those who really give it their all.

Pros

Good training, happy environment, clean, motivating mentors, good sales coaches, everyone is there to help when you need or ask for it.

Cons

High goals- but for some it's attainable, Long hours, must be prepared to hustle & call past clients all day if you are not on track for your goal.

Pros

You do get good benefits and the pay is okay for the job required.

Cons

The problem with Goosehead is that they have unrealistic expectations. When one person hits high marks, that sets the bar. But what if every single person can't meet that bar? Between scare tactics, overloading employees, and unrealistic expectations, this is not a good place to work. The hardest part about this job is balancing your work/life. If you have to commute to this job, you will have no life. You are told...

Advice to Management

Start assigning groups to specific states. The work load is too diverse and too extreme to handle, especially at the rate you are going. I'm genuinely surprised ya'll were voted best place to work, because I had one of the worst job experiences while working there. There is either not enough management or there are too many agents. Either way, I will not be recommending anyone apply for a job here.
