I’ve been working for my State Farm agent since January 2022. Between then and now three people have been let go. The first to be let go was only there for a month. The second was there for about six months and the third was let go yesterday after a little over a month. I feel this is toxic as I see this as a revolving door. Am I right to feel this way or does this job have high turn over rates?

insurance sales has high turnover. It's normal since you have to find your clients and solve their problems. If you can't survive, you'll have to leave soon.

Are you guys paid based on commission?

I work for two insurance companies over the last 7 years and high turn overs is unfortunately part of the job. I would suggest speaking to upper management to figure out what to expect and if your job is safe.

Is it completely sales and could you see why they may have been fired, poor performance, lack of team work etc?

High turnover rate because the agent you work for pays you nothing to do all the work they don’t want to do themselves (I.e. Sales & customer service) Some folks are just happy to have a job and so they get complacent and put up with it. Others find out quickly that they are simply getting used by the agent and decide to move on. Ask yourself, “Is this agent invested in me and my professional growth & development? Or is every aspect of my existence here serving only my employer?

Very high turnover. Doesn't mean you are wrong to feel that way though.

Crazy high turnover. Most people don’t last long. It’s often on them, not State Farm.
