Pros

You get a lot of experience in the insurance industry. If you start getting promoted you can get experience on management. You can make really good money based off performance. If you have the right leadership you can make really really good money. You have an opportunity in your career to be developed. Easy to move if you know the right people. You make way more money than someone who probably has a degree. The company promotes internally only. Commission is really good when you can hit your quota.

Cons

Agents and managers don’t have PTO or vacation time, it is earned and very hard to get. The company is growing too fast and not able to focus on their current employees, or stores. Instead of fixing the ones that aren’t profitable they open new ones and leave the ones struggling out to fend for themselves. It’s really hard for someone to get in trouble- time attendance. Their employee handbook is too vague so there isn’t a set rule for certain things. Basically everyone does whatever they want. They put up with people who are great sales person but horrible attitudes. The compensation starting sucks for new hires. Turnover rate is really high because the training program is too long. Too many things going on at once that Employees end up missing them all or just hit one goal. company needs to Start doing year end evaluations. Some have been there for so long and still make the same amount of money or even less due to new pay structures. The hours are super long - it’s the only way for them to make money. Employees end up quitting because they don’t have a balance with their families. They don’t have holiday bonuses or parties. It’s not all about the money sometimes- some people care more for PTO and being acknowledged for their hard work or long term relationship to the company. Company doesn’t invest in the technology for the employees and customers- even though they make millions a year. With the current covid19 situation - you’d think this multi million dollar company would invest in the technology for their employees to be able to work from home. But they won’t invest in it and weren’t prepared.

Pros

my co workers and a small portion of the clients were the only good thing about this job

Cons

the pay structure. base pay VS commission, not base pay WITH commission like every other insurance agency. Additionally, you see AT MOST 12% of the 15% commission that Freeway gets from you selling a policy. And you see at most 23% of the broker fee that you charge your non standard clients. You are """encouraged""" (read: forced) to charge poor people down on their luck exorbitant broker fees, and make up some fake discount if they by some chance are not able to. But, of course, you get chewed out if you don't charge at least a 200 broker fee. Look at your gross income go up. Now think about how you wont see any of that money. Feels really good, doesn't it? Honestly, you could write a whole book on Freeway's faults. Not Good.
