TWG Insurance Reviews

1. Being a part of a young, energetic, rapidly growing company is very rare, that is why TWG Insurance is such a great place to work at. Top to bottom every employee plays an important role driving this business to success. The employees are highly motivated, hard working and fun to be around. There is great opportunity for each employee as long as you work hard and have a postive attitude.

I had no idea what glassdoor was until some of my co-workers were discussing the site one day in the office. I asked one of my closest colleagues to describe exactly what the site’s purpose was and what was going on. Some of the top producers in the company had recently quit or had been let go…and the rumor mill was in full force. My friend informed me that the site contained multiple misleading reviews about the company, but some of the reviews were quite accurate. I worked at TWG for less than two years, and I saw everything. From close friends unexpectedly quitting, to top agents being fired for insubordination…you couldn’t predict what would happen when you walked in the door for work. Because the company is so young, the culture is constantly evolving. The pay structure, the hours, the incentives, the parties, the rules, the atmosphere, the morale, and the people are always subject to change. If you have a hard time adapting to change, TWG is not the place for you. The company is still in its infancy, and everyone from the new agent in the training room to the CEO is constantly learning and adapting. I joined TWG because I didn’t want to join a large company with a corp environment right after college. I wanted to be recognized for my hard work through promotions as quick as possible, and I wanted to learn sales. I don’t regret my decision for one minute. Clearly, if you read all of these reviews you will understand that this job isn’t for the lackadaisical. You must be cognizant of the fact that this job is quite difficult. You will be tested mentally, physically, and most of all emotionally. You will feel bored, annoyed, angry, and discouraged…welcome to sales. Every month you are expected to work your butt off. However, the harder you work the more you will get back. Everyone has a hard time making the transition from college to their first “real world” job. I feel as though TWG received a lot of negative press from the employees who couldn’t handle the pressure and time commitment expected of you here. This is sales people, this is a career…not a walk in the park. You can’t wake up and “take the day off” like you could in school. You are constantly on the grind, and every day you are busy. In college, I followed most of my classmates in the “work hard..play hard” mentality. At TWG you can definitely play hard, but you must work efficiently. It was hard for me to leave TWG in order to pursue a different career in my hometown. After working in financial services for almost three months, I actually missed the insurance business. I now work on the commercial side of the insurance arena, but I definitely owe TWG credit for giving me an invaluable sales experience. The least I could do was write an honest review on this site. Pros: -You can actually see your contribution in the overall success of the company. -I was never micromanaged; just do your job and you won’t be bothered. Work hard…perform well. You will be rewarded with flex-time, longer lunches etc. -The company is constantly growing, and doing extremely well. -Incredible office and location. Las Colinas is rapidly becoming a premier location for businesses. -The opportunities for advancement come at you quickly. Your overall performance can open doors. -Your manager actually cares about your success, their paycheck depends on it. -The people. Everyone is young and full of energy. The competition pushes you to strive for excellence. Everyone is working just as hard as you are, so everyone is ready to unwind after a long day. -Constant opportunities for happy hours, Rangers/Stars/Mavs games, volleyball, kickball, and weekend getaways. -Goal hit lunches and dinners, occasional cash incentives. -The relationships your build with your coworkers. All my friends looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I was going to hang out with my co-workers during the weekend. I find that to be a very unique quality. I consider many of my old colleagues as best friends and trustworthy advisors. -Hours. You can leave at 6pm if you want, they will never force you to stay. However, if you aren’t working a little more than the official office hours at your first job, you will not succeed. The day flies by if you are working efficiently. -You do not have to come in on Saturday, if you want to you can. The previous posts are BS. -The CEO values honesty, integrity, and hard work. The company’s successes and failures ride on his shoulders. He is clearly leading this company in the right direction. He truly cares about all of his employees. -You have the potential to earn commission your first year. The agents in my start group who could sell and who worked hard saw bonuses and commission. -Call center in Manilla does all the “cold calling”. These leads are handed to you on a silver platter. -The Risk Management Dept does a fantastic job, they are there to protect the company and the agents.
