How are the career development opportunities at SelectQuote?

I love my career at SQ! The growth opportunities is phenomenal and associates are rewarded and compensated based on performance. If you work hard, you will be rewarded

No big cons, it’s a very demanding role, but we are rewarded with ample time off during parts of the year

Its a cohort based employment opportunity so you get to learn and grow alongside peers of similar age range and career path. For those who are interested in relocating to KC, its a great way to have a group of people around you for activities outside of work. Personal and professional development is top notch as you rotate every 6 months between the different divisions of SQ. There is so much learning to be had here but its really focused on analytical and technical skills so if you're looking for something other than that, its likely not the role for you. You will learn SQL, Excel, Google Suite, and Quicksight Dashboard creation.

Due to it's cohort structure there is absolutely zero room for negotiation on salary. They say they try their best to place you in rotations that would fit you and your skillset, but at times you can be placed somewhere that you didn't necessarily want to go to. Because you are rotating around the company and each team has a different structure the hybrid/remote options are ever changing and you are expected to adopt the structure of the team you're on. AKA if they come in Monday-Friday, you are likely required to come in Monday-Friday. Additionally, due to rotations, work-life-balance varies depending on what team you're on and the season of selling its in. So at times you could be rotating on divisions during their busy season, expected to work overtime or enough to cover needs as well as adopting their work life structure for when they come into office.

Remote work, growth opportunities, good management

Low pay for the field

I like the flexibility of working from home. I am pleased overall with upper management's efforts to navigate the changing Medicare landscape to put me and my beneficiaries in the best place possible.

Medicare sales as a whole is a challenge during the intense busy times of the year it can be tough mentally, during the slower times of year you have more work life balance. There does not seem to be a clear career path plan.

Remote is the only pro with this company.

I was with the company for almost 6 years. I loved my first 4 years at SelectQuote. The last 2 years were a nightmare. We got a new Vice President of Recruiting and everything went downhill. I was in Talent Acquisition before I left we had 9 managers overseeing 48 employees. Even with that low headcount it would take on average 15-20 minutes to get a response from a manager via chat(we were all remote). I had a manager that would go house hunting and then once he bought a house started working on projects during company time. My last manager spent her company time running errands and planning her wedding. I would often be told to reach out to another manager to get something completed. Other coworkers had managers that are relentless micromanagers. There is no career development here. You get promoted based on friendships, not experience. My last manager never focused on my career developments. One on one time was spent gossiping about co-workers or talking about her wedding. This is not a serious company where you can build a long-term career.

Continuous opportunities for career development

Things are always changing and evolving, not much downtime

Great people, young and thriving environment

Data is messy, communication between teams could improve

- Flexible hours - good management

- limited growth opportunities - poor communication

Strong Earning Potential – Competitive compensation structure with opportunities to maximize pay through performance, bonuses, and incentives. • Growth & Development – Clear career progression with training, coaching, and leadership development programs to help employees move up quickly. • Remote Flexibility – Many roles are remote or hybrid, allowing for work-life balance and flexibility. • Supportive Culture – Teams are collaborative, with leadership focused on coaching, recognition, and creating opportunities for agents and managers to succeed. One of the only brokers still seeing massive growth YoY even in this harder selling space

Remote can also be viewed as a con for me. You don’t get to see your colleagues in person super often

Working at SelectQuote has been an incredible experience! I’ve had the opportunity to work with an innovative and collaborative team that truly values creativity and strategic thinking. The leadership is supportive, encouraging professional growth, and always open to new ideas. What stands out the most is the fast-paced yet rewarding environment—every day presents new challenges, but the company provides the tools and resources needed to succeed. The culture is welcoming, and teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. It’s exciting to be part of a company that is growing rapidly and making a real impact in the industry! If you're looking for a company that values its employees, provides career growth opportunities, and fosters a positive workplace culture, SelectQuote is the place to be!

No cons at this time!
