Pros

I LOVE my local team. everyone is so supportive and wonderful. Unlimited sick time. Work/life balance is heavily prioritized. My manager specifically was so trustworthy and encouraging. Basic benefits have no premium!

Cons

no 401k match. Internally, they are going through a lot of changes and it feels incredibly chaotic. Before one thing is fully rolled out, they turn efforts toward a new roll out. Both tech wise (which results in SO many new things for agents and employees to learn and never fully formed products) but also with our job descriptions. Recently they did a "restructure" and it added SO much work to our roles and gave some people a totally new job that they didnt even ask for. These things along with a terrible way to layoff 10% of your staff, makes for a very untrustworthy corporate structure. I was also recruited with the understanding that there was a lot of room for growth and bonuses, but the bonuses and pay are really depressing for how much one person is expected to know.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
