Combined Insurance reviews about "training"

There are quite a few challenges with this company. Training is extremely minimal, leaving you unprepared and expected to figure things out on your own. Communication from management is poor and often contradictory. What was explained during the interview and onboarding didn’t align with the actual expectations or experience once the role began. You're limited to quoting and accessing your email through an iPad, which is not ideal for productivity. I was told I’d be working with an office close to home but was assigned to one over an hour away. As an Agency Coordinator, I was assured I wouldn’t be responsible for selling. However, after seven weeks, only one agent was ever added to my team — and that only happened after I repeatedly followed up via email asking what was going on. I was told there would be consistent agent placements each month, but that has not been the case. To this day, I haven’t received any additional team members, and I don’t expect to unless I recruit them myself — which, from what I understand, isn’t even allowed. The role is commission-based, but the structure doesn’t support your success unless you’re selling heavily yourself. The commission rate is low, and the override on your team (if you even have one) is worse.

Commission only....good if you work

Trainings and compensation, pressure and all

-Upper management is very hard-core, sales-driven. -Sales pressure environment -Management seems to always push for sales in a stressful way. -Not a lot of management tenures are happy. -A lot of tenure people keep getting demoted and promoted back up based on the favouritism of the upper management. -Seems like they always enjoy pushing tenure people to leave the company. -A lot of people say their residual drop has drastically lowered over the years. -Old boys club and not respecting females in management. -They treat you well into you become upper management, a lot of holding back ppl for promotions or assigning promotions based on fitting with the right people or robbing the right elbows. -They do not appreciate talent if you don't fit in their way of management, especially if you built residuals. -Management outcasting you and making sure you feel that way if you speak up or do not agree with them in any shape or form.

Back office is slow on claims

There is not much training provided. It took two weeks to get a work Ipad because supposedly someone stole the sim card out of the last company unit!
