Energetic culture with high growth potential - Agency Manager Goosehead Insurance Employee Review

Extensive sales training process greatly prepares new hires Great place to learn insurance and get your foot in the door

Expectations vary from corporate and from franchise to franchise

Goosehead has a strong marketing and recruiting platform that sells the opportunity and growth within the organization. Culture of sales organization is young and vibrant and initially gives new employees lots of energy. There is real opportunity for compensation upside if you can build referral relationships.

The lived experience compared to the culture advertised rarely lines up. What was once an organization that promoted heavily from within, now more and more brings in outside leadership. Not good at developing leaders from within the company or providing opportunity for junior leaders the opportunity to step into new roles. Sales management is immature and lacks professionalism. The culture and operating principles are discussed regularly but in my experience are just company marketing. If you want to get promoted you are better off appearing to fall in line instead of raising concerns or constructive criticism. They sell this as trust, but it's really just self interest.
