Pros

It seemed too good to be true. I was hired within 3 hours of first interview and even met the owner - I was overqualified for the position but was promised $30,000 to $40,000 a year by owner (this did not happen - please read below)

Cons

I was fired with 2 other underwriters all in one swoop after only 5 days of work. The owner had promised me the salary above; however, the temporary agency only allowed me $12 an hour. I was told that I had to work 90 days at $12 an hour, before I could get a salary directly from MJ Kelly. The trainer who was training me would start something and then just walk away. I had to basically shadow the other underwriters and teach myself the process. I have been in insurance as an agent or manager of an agency for over 10 years.

Pros

I wish I had something positive to say...maybe my first week was good but the rest was so bad it wiped out anything good about this place.

Cons

Poor communication, a lot of walking on eggshells, management verbally abusive and very vengeful to any employees who leave. Hands down the worst job experience ever and would not recommend for anyone. Had to fight for a 50 cent raise after working there 15 months! (Three months thru a temp agency & 12 months direct employee) Family emergency? Good luck. An employee lost their spouse and after four days the burial the owner says this is ridiculous they need to get back and expected one of us to call the employee and say get back to work. Reasoning? The person is dead nothing more you can do and their work isn't getting done. I have held a handful of jobs in my life and working on a farm, shoveling crap in 100 degree heat, as a teenager was better than this place.
