Pros

Stock Purchase plan and 401K are great benefits Some really great fellow employees are still employed there

Cons

HR feedback dictates how far you go. Play the game, the further you go. Dont play, dont go any further. Upper management has little engagement with the actual workers. Some upper managers have no clue on what is actually going on in the business.....placed there due to "knowing someone higher up" is common practice. Most currently, they have started an internal "hit list" of those employees that they (and HR) deem to be not capable. Assessment made not on what they do, but future potential. Direct managers are FORCED to work on plans to get them out the door, even though they may think there is potential with the right direction.

Pros

Company shares are worth investing Flexibility to work from home available for few departments

Cons

People who are close to directors or VP's are promoted eventhough they are not worth a penny. The worst part is able candidates are pushed down or to side and will be forced to work under these kind of "promoted" leaders. These folks after getting a promotion just dictate around and make the life of people around miserable. A lot of them have only seen the life in Assurant and have no knowledge of how the industry works...I agree with a lot of comments here..If you have a god father in the form of Director or VP , please come and work here..you are going to lead a pleasant life. Else please don't...What ever experience or knowledge you have outside the company won;t help you to climb up the ladder..You will be just pushed to the corner...Regarding Pay, its peanuts not to mention there is no bonus in this company. So all you get is a minimal 2-3% hike unless you are in those buddy list of directors who decide the "top performer" list. There are gold and platinum rewards named ICUE's and most of the time these awards also go to those "street smart" folks and not to mention the recent trend towards outsourcing which already has reduced the employee morale a lot.
