I worked at Answer Financial as an IT tech for 6 years . This company has an interesting culture, and I think it's existence is a net positive for the surrounding communities. It has a culture of innovation and hard work, led by this super-nice guy, Rob Slingerland. I don't recommend looking for an IT job there, as it's very a tough environment with a grueling work schedule. Nor do I recommend working there as an agent - that's even tougher. Insurance industry profit margins are razor thin for brokers like this, as anybody with experience working in the industry can tell you. A company like AFI must do a lot to stay afloat and pay its employees, let alone prosper and flourish. But if you're looking for any other position, including in the areas of programming and web development, I definitely recommend this place. This company is fortunate enough to have some really good, dedicated and talented developers, and, as I said, the company is always innovating and trying to be better at what they do and staying ahead of the competition.

I've also been a customer and I have remained a customer for the past ten years. They got me a very good deal on my car insurance with 21st, and even a better one for my home through Safeco. Safeco is an EXCELLENT company when it comes to home insurance.
Not everyone fits the same pedigree when comes to shopping for an insurance policy; you might just not be in the right market for this company and the carriers that it represents, but a lot also depends on the knowledge and the dedication of your sales agent. I recommend female employees over males. Women are just more caring and detail-oriented than men, and my agent was also a woman. Just as with every other product, keep shopping around for auto/home insurance. And if you're looking for a place to work, give this company a try, it might just work out well for you.
