Pros

The leadership from the founders at PHLY were awesome but the current OCEO and President are not based on merit but based on being a "yes man". The current President was not promoted based on merit but based on his relationship with the founder. I am lucky and appreciate all that that founders of PHLY as an opportunity and his real leadership. The current management at PHLY, more specifically the President, is nothing but into himself and most PHLY employees I know understand it. It is embarrasing to hear the current President talk and pontificate because it is about self promotion.

Cons

Phly is no longer based on merit but based on sucking up to the current leadership. I was with the company for 32 years and the last few years with the current management were horrendous. I am was the first employee in the NW and after 32 years and retiring they treat you like garbage. Rethink your career if you want to stay at PHLY because current management will discard you like trash. A few of my peers that help Phly get on the map are being thrown out because they no longer fit the narrative. Sad and pathetic.

Pros

Flexibility with a hybrid work schedule. Ability to learn more products, so it can be challenging but fun if you are looking for growth. Metrics and everyone knows what to expect which seems to be industry standard across small business.

Cons

None. PTO comparative seems light as you start out.

Pros

Nice people, focus on technology, upper management is usually ahead of insurance trends, immediate supervisors were nice and well meaning. Benefits are good, not great. Good amount of PTO.

Cons

In small business unit, you have monthly quotas and managers are constantly asking how much you are quoting and if you will reach that number. Various levels of punishment if you don’t hit this number. Quality of work, risk selection, accuracy doesn’t really matter, only how much you quote. There is no positive in hitting this number beyond not being bothered until the next month. If you exceed this number consistently, you’ll just be asked to do more. Company is doing everything in its power to save expenses. The pay rate is well below the market. People consistently leave and make much more money elsewhere. Most lower level jobs are being shipped to an Indian company and even the Indian company is having job functions replaced by AI. This is usually at the expense of quality or what our agents actually want. CEOs preach saving expenses and not replacing people, as they show up to your office after flying in a private jet and a car service. Finally, 90% of the people in the region I worked were related to somebody who either works there, were their friends, or were related to agents we did business with. Some of these people had positions made for them, where they sat there and studied for 6 months, instead of promoting people from within. This will also prevent job mobility.
