Employees say
"There's a new challenge everyday; the work is interesting. I feel like we are providing a service that everyone needs and disrupting an industry at the same time."
"Upper management truly takes interest in my career and personal goals and helps me achieve them."
"I am challenged (in a good way) on a regular basis, which has helped me develop as a professional. I'm much more confident now than I was when I started at this company."
Fun facts
Goosehead was conceived in 2003, when Robyn Jones (a real estate investor) and Mark Jones (a senior partner at Bain & Co), had an idea that would transform the insurance industry. The strategy was simple: Provide a true concierge client experience that gives clients the power of choice from the top-rated national and regional insurance carriers. Instead of modeling Goosehead after other agencies, Mark started with a blank sheet of paper and designed a business model focused on providing the best service, the best value and the best experience for its clients.
