Quotes from employee nominations
No agency I have ever worked for has had the leadership Mackoul does
I am not a number here; I am a valued asset, and I am reminded of that daily.
I truly have never felt so appreciated at a job before. Your work is recognized, you feel empowered to do your best and people are always willing to jump in to help. The culture of this agency is truly one of a family.

We started just selling insurance to churches one-by-one. I say 'we,' it was me by myself. I eventually had enough money to hire somebody to answer the phone, and that became 'we.' And it grew from there.

We believe in paying our people and paying them well, but all of the other things that come along with that are just as much if not more important: work-life balance, education, helping them better themselves in their career, advancing themselves. And that's just always been our model. And we try to prepare every team member to be the best version of themselves that they can be.

People are not running at 110%, they're running maybe at 80 or 90 (%) and enjoying it
Not only are they willing to talk the talk but walk the walk. They will get in the trenches with us and provide help immediately on things we need help with. There are numerous resources they have built to educate us and keep educating us to encourage learning every day.

Your team is everything. Our customers will not receive the education and assistance they've come to expect from us without our team. We take care of our team first.

Employee Perspectives
Quotes from employee nominations
Agents are provided an opportunity to earn large six-figure salaries while working from home and are provided base salaries to build a career from the start, without the month-to-month worry about commissions.
What I like about our agency is that they're always looking to improve or better themselves in whatever way is needed; no one's perfect and seeing the agency always strive to be better makes me proud.

We've made a lot of strides in the last few years to really give employees the opportunity to have input. I think our culture is one where people are pretty open with each other and comfortable with each other, and they're willing to help each other out.
