California E&S Insurance

IS MY AGENCY SCAMMING ME?! Hello, fellow agents of Reddit. I have a couple concerns that I’d like to address with you guys, recently for about a month now I started working with this P&C agency here in Miami, we typically only do Home and Auto in Florida however sometimes we sell auto in Texas, New York, and Ohio. Once joining this “agency” I quickly noticed some red flags 🚩, one they never had us sign any onboarding documents or paperwork, everything is done through the owners name and his 2 sons names, there is no time tracking software they use for payroll only a iMessage group chat no direct deposit only in checks. Now here is my biggest concern, we only get paid $14 a hour and $35 commission for a new policy $0-10 on a renewal however they expect us to work 9-10 hour shifts with weekend availability if we don’t meet out goals the thing is the goals they set for us are as follows: 3.5k premium a day - 65k a month mind you most of everyone here are fairly new agents. The management is very annoying they constantly find ways to blame you, even at one point sending you home if you don’t sell a policy by 12 pm, I’m planning to jump ship but I want to make sure that I’m not crazy or is this something that is normal in the insurance world.
