I have been working as an agent for just over 2 years now. I work for an Independent Agency and our lead carrier is Erie. This is my first job so I don't have any prior experience in the industry and I want to make sure I am not being taken advantage of. Right now, I get 40% of the commission on all the accounts I write. Is this average, low, or high? To me it seems low, considering I get less then half of the commission for all policies I write. But for all I know, it could be good. I just want to be sure I'm not getting ripped off.
Does anybody know the average commission percentage for agents working at an independent agency?
