HUB International Reviews

Pros

Strong sense of ownership and accountability in your role; Supportive leadership; Team performance bonuses (we are all in this together); Over 450 agencies locally run but organically united - this makes HUB International incredibly flexible and gives this insurance broker unique bargaining power with insurance carriers and third party services on behalf of the employer groups it serves.

Cons

Rapid and constant growth has its challenges, but they are absolutely worth it.

Advice to Management

Continue to fold in the new acquisitions into one unified organism that hums, much like folding unique ingredients into one superior dish, or adding musical notes to create a symphony.

Pros

Extremely Friendly Environment Warm and welcoming team

Cons

Training - could definitely improve

Pros

A very collaborative atmosphere, managers and executives are easy to talk to. Good work/life balance - very rarely work overtime. Benefits are great for dental.

Cons

Poor vision benefits. Pay is below average (sacrificing pay for the culture). Confusing c-suite structure - so many executives and VPs!

Advice to Management

There needs to be a better process for the flow of communication. Sometimes there is very important information that is not distributed because there is no process in place, and it seems like each executive thinks that the other executives are informing the staff when in fact nobody is.

Pros

Fully stocked gourmet kitchen, casual work environment

Cons

Negative and highly unprofessional work environment, many staff swear (the managers doing most of it), high turnover, job uncertainty for sales positions due to fluctuating home building market,

Advice to Management

Advice to HUB - find it why there's so much turnover at Pacific/Progressive Home Warranty and maybe even secretly observe the day to day operations.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere and pleasant work place

Cons

Really can’t think of any cons

Pros

Leadership (CEO) great vision

Cons

Senior leaders do not embrace CEO's vision. Most leaders think they are they ones that are always right and if you don't agree than you are an enemy of them.

Advice to Management

have all your leaders on the same page with the same message.

Pros

Our group of brokerages was previously under Cypher Systems Group until HUB acquired the business 1 year ago. We are now called HCC. The process has felt nearly seamless, with most jobs staying the same. Working hours are what is expected when providing services across the country. We have some good leaders and employees who truly care and improve the working environment. There are some employees banding... together to form a union because they know that it is better to have a collective voice. Bettertogether.ca is the site if you are interested. With more of us banning together we can create a better environment for all.

Cons

As I said, some leaders are really good, but many are stepping down because being good at your job is not enough, you need to be ruthless to succeed. We have lost benefits since HUB took over, and the RRSP contributions are extremely worse, it's almost to the point where they are saying we dont care about your future. Pay is lousy, and inconsistent. And there is a lack of quality communication to employees on... what is going on withing the company.

Advice to Management

You need to value your employees, we have a high turnover rate at HCC for a reason. Provide proper compensation to ALL employees instead of always focusing on just one segment. Have open communication, not everything needs to be a secret all the time. We all want to succeed, but it needs to be done together.

Pros

Good benefits, security of working for a large corporation

Cons

Heavy workload, no support from management, poorly managed, office cliques

Advice to Management

Get new management!
