"I've been with them over three years and no one I started with is still there. The agency can't keep employees, sales staff or office staff. Each day you come in or call the office it's a different person. Cubicles are filled and emptied all the time. The office is more like the downtown bus station with people coming and going. Management isn't much to speak of. They mostly act busy without accomplishing much, except getting excited if someone makes a big sale, and sales haven't been good for the office in the last year. Our goals haven't been met by more that a third. It's tough out in the sales field and tougher with little support for the office."
