Pros

There are no positives to working here

Cons

DealerPolicy uses bait and switch tactics to try to get people to change their insurance even though they will deny it, there is high pressure to sell your friends and family while still “training” and before you’re even officially hired, the managers are extremely disorganized and are misogynistic creeps, the company is growing too fast with the proper oversight, the 8 week education you must complete uses fear tactics and does not have a solid curriculum to teach from, the instructors are absolute garbage- unqualified and uneducated, the “incentives” used to motivate are primarily junk food. On top of all of this, there is a huge spilt in the company due to the acquisition of Winooski insurance. Be prepared to have your working hours changed with no notice, you are expected to work off the clock, and maybe most important you will not be trained adequately which will put you personally at risk if you happen to make an error on a policy, you will be held financially responsible. Bottom line that this place is a hot mess and will likely go under within a few years. The physical location could not be worse- no parking, traffic jams that make leaving the building a nightmare.

Pros

Good people at all levels trying to make it work. Culture and leadership are idea-embracing.

Cons

Paying the price for growing too aggressively early on. As top level leadership pushes for improvements in some areas, some pragmatism being lost in favor of pleasing bosses.
