Pros

Decent pay, comfortable conditions working from home, customers are generally pretty nice, as are the various team leads I've worked with.

Cons

This company has been slowly nixing every reason to pick them over another company. Previously employees could reward each other for good work with Kudos, useable for some real world (typically company branded) items, however this has been replaced with a store where you spend your own money for that. Personally I am not interested in spending my own money to advertise for them and it is dumbfounding that they think I would. Upward mobility is limited, many of the leads I see are not internal promotions, but outside hires. I have not seen a lead position posted on the job board in years. Taking additional responsibilities for your job, such as animal specialties or working with Spanish speaking customers does not provide you any increase in pay in exchange for the additional work. Communication from upper management is so poor as to be non-existent. They recently decided to cut the email team. Initially they were apparently intending to just cut emails altogether but instead decided to just remove the customer service email address from the website and emailed communications to reduce emails as much as possible. The members of this team received no prior notice, or even an indication from management as to why we were suddenly inundated with overflow calls. I'm sick of working here, I'm getting out as soon as I can.

Pros

I am very happy in my role and grateful for the growth I have experienced over the last four years. Selling pet insurance has helped me become more confident and skilled in sales, communication, and customer support. I truly enjoy helping clients understand their options and feel supported when making decisions for their pets. I also value being part of a team where I can support my teammates and take on tasks that contribute to the overall success of the department. I appreciate the opportunities I have had to grow, improve, and make a positive impact in my role.

Cons

I would appreciate more alignment between daily responsibilities and the core expectations of the role. Some of the additional tasks assigned do not directly connect to pet insurance or sales. These tasks have impacted my overall adherence and metrics. I understand the importance of supporting business needs, but I believe it would be beneficial to reevaluate this process so that agents can remain focused on the responsibilities that best support their role and performance expectations.
