I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it.

I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

Just walk out on last day?
