Management is completely out of touch - employees dropping left and right
Pros
Healthy work/life balance (37.5 hour work weeks). Good benefits. Reasonable pay.
Cons
I have to say things at American National used to be a lot better. For the past couple years, in my department at least, things have just gotten worse and worse. Management preaches an ethical approach to business yet they promote and praise the worst employees and reprimand and even fire the faithful ones. When coworkers quit (to hold on to some of their dignity and sanity) before they even have new jobs lined up, you know things are bad. I've asked myself countless time if I am working in the Twilight Zone because things are so crazy and clearly are not going to change. Disappointed to say the least, but at some point you have to accept things for what they are and move on. Oh and good luck getting a promotion. You'll retire before that happens.
