- Mid level management isn't as bad as some make it out to be. It is a low end retail sales job, of course the management will micromanage and threaten you if you do not hit your targets. That being said, it's not great by any stretch of the imagination. The only other real pro is that they pay a littler higher than average base for part of the country. It's not great, and the commissions are soooooo bad that it definitely isn't worth it, but to be completely honest the base isn't noncompetitive for entry level insurance sales.

- Be prepared to sell payday loans to unsuspecting clients. Yes, this is less of an insurance sales role, and more of a payday loan scheme. They finance their own premium loans in-house, and the insurance payments you are collecting are actually loan liabilities of the client. They do this because as they love to point out they only really serve the segment of clients who are deemed not insurable by most carriers. The only way they will insure them is if they pay the policy up front. So Confie steps in and pays the policy on your behalf, and then collects it's debt month after month.It almost seemed honorable at first, until you read the promissory note!!! Since I cannot disclose anything I learned specifically about the interest rates of clients while working there, I will tell you factual information from the promissory note of a friend of mine who had his insurance there after his 2nd DUI and needed an SR22. The APR is 48.7% !!!! I can assure you this rate is lower than some that I personally sold. MUCH LOWER

- If you are surprised that the employees are not valued, the culture is that of a boiler-room, or to put it lightly some sketchy stuff goes on at these branches, you will fit in great at Freeway. 

- If you are a top sales performer, and you hit the phones everyday... Sure you can make decent money as a secondary income. But if you are really a top salesperson, please sell something else you can actually make money selling.

- If you must accept this job (will be homeless without it) just keep looking and push through while working there. Make some money to pay the bills but don't expect this company to be around long. They are only still around because of some decent M/A deals and one day soon the regulators will come down hard on a company literally with the business model of charging PREDATORY interest rates to the least educated, poorest segment of our country.

If you are looking for a new way to break into auto insurance, sadly Confie is not the company for you.  On the front end, the display of teamwork, family orientation, and proper training is in full effect. After a while of being at the office, you'll start to see the cracks in the seams of the facade. Long hours, if you need an off day it's frowned upon, depending on where and who you're working with will dictate how poorly you're treated in regards to favoritism. It starts out hourly pay (set amount), but after you reach one of the many goals they have in place it switches to commission pay. If you miss your mark, be prepared to make minimum wage($7.25/TX). Good luck with that, on the tail end you'll find that there's certain criteria you have to meet to really get paid commission. High turn over rates, the company says they prefer Spanish/English bilingual agents, but really it's a requirement if you don't want the customers and/or your coworkers to constantly shun you or lie about something you say or did. Being a hard worker isn't enough in this environment, you must add patience, swallowing your pride, and keep fighting an uphill battle to be apart of the "team". The questions to ask yourself, "How much is my sanity and peace of mind worth?" "Can I be cutthroat to get ahead?" "Is it about the money or the well-being of the customer/client to me?" "Do I want work/life balance?"

This Company was so stressful to work with. Management do things backwards instead of having meetings about changes within the system or in the field they have emotional meetings about basically NOTHING. I would not recommend this job unless you have absolutely no other options available to you. the pay is also not worth the stress. The managers are drama filled woman who sit in the break room and gossip. Not a day goes by where there is some type of system issue and no one knows anything about it. Some of the ladies on the ASC team drink on the job and provide horrible service. No formal dress code, people come to work with inappropriate clothing. Totally tacky environment.  The company offers no formal training. They depend on associates to train new employees. Older employees don't provide much assistance to help out because they feel bothered. Parking garage is about 6 blocks from job which is about a ten minute walk. People quit on a daily basis. I have experienced so much hate, drama, evilness, and unorganization from a company. Do not waste time with this employer. the only good thing about this job is being flexible with the hours.

When you want to move up you make less and less. No room for improvement on pay. The company needs to work on investing on its people.  I was offered to move up to higher management position last year but I was offered almost 10k less than what my current position was paying. I was informed by others that there was no negotiation and I had to either accept or deny. The company talks about promoting growth but they don’t even value its own people to pay them at least a match, let alone a slight raise. I want to move up professionally. But how am I supposed to live in our times where homes are expensive. The economy is increasing and inflation is high. My dreams and goals are unreachable and I have no room for professional growth because confíe will not set a standard to invest in its people that want to do more. Worst part is if I say something I will ruin my chances at ever getting promoted 

Good company, poor training for new employees. Their training it's all over the place. They will try and cramp up 4weeks of training into 2 and push you off to different  staff members . That is setting a new hire for failure.  I met some very nice people. But, they definitely need to come up with better training techniques specially for people with strong management skill but no insurance industry background. Why hire them????  None of their ads say anything about having to be a licensed insurance agent. That's because they tell you once your hired .So, then your training for your position and to take a state exam at the same time. Your job is contingent on that.  Maybe have applicants study and take exam at company expense prior to giving them all company offering and then let them go. Have you thought about saving money and time??

It is a very stressful place to work. poor pay, poor communication, they want to sell customers everything that has nothing to do with insurance, very deceptive & dishonest with the customers and the employees. Terrible training they want other employees to train but not get paid. Very cheap company, they don't give you the tools or supplies to work with. The pay system is set up for you to fail and for them to steal from you. They force agents to do bad things to get commissions. They are so focused on being on the phone, the customers in the office feel ignored and complain on the agents. They have no respect for your time, and never give their employees anything during the holidays. I don't recommend this place you will be highly disappointed!

My time at the company was difficult due to the management style. Training was inconsistent, and feedback often focused more on criticism than coaching. Communication from leadership could feel unprofessional at times, which created a stressful environment. Expectations were not always clear, and performance issues were not addressed in a supportive or constructive way.

The role itself had the potential to be a good learning opportunity. Still, the lack of professional support and clear communication from management made the experience far less positive than it could have been.

I got hired and got my insurance license in two months. They paid for my classes to take it online so that was nice. When it came to training me, they were so busy trying to reach their goals and making sure upper management was happy. I didn’t get trained properly and wanted me to learn as I go with real clients. I wanted to help the customers as best as I could but how could I if I didn’t know how to answer all the question. Constantly asking for help when they where all busy. It was stressful and I wouldn’t recommend working here unless you are 100% sure you know how to do this job. 

Working for this company has taken all the joy out of trying to build a book of business and helping your local customer base. Customers can no longer get get in touch with you and must be forced to talk to agents (I use that term very loosely) who do not want to handle service calls and routinely hang up on customers because they don’t want to be bothered trying to help.  Corporate is  more focused on ancillary products and sales regardless of the cost and the strain it puts on hard working customers to try and afford low cost coverage. Mid and upper management have no moral compass and unless you get on their good side it doesn’t matter where your numbers are. Pay is minimal and reaching bonuses even worse. 

The Company can be an enjoyable place to work, however, Customer Service is not at the forefront. On more than one occasion, it was made clear that the financial "bottom line" of the Company was the most important thing and customers were held to the letter of the policy instead of taking into account certain circumstances which may be specific to the insured. Customers constantly complained about representatives not returning calls. I can validate this as my calls were rarely returned, thus I used email almost exclusively, to communicate with my co-workers.
