Worse place to work by the day...

Pros

Competitive pay, and benefits are about it.

Cons

Technology or lack of, for a company this size, is inexcusable. They don't want to make the investment. There is a lot of pressure on its employees, and they expect more and more from you every day. They focus on inconsequential areas, instead of what is really important. Company is out of touch with its employees. They breach life/work balance, but expectations aren't realistic. They talk about open doors and challenge and speak up, but they don't want to really hear from you. They talk about opportunity and career opportunities , but other an elaborate flow chart, they do nothing to help employees make a change. They will a stranger off the street before giving its good employees an opportunity to change career paths. A lot of RIF's and offshoring we have seen in recent years to make big profits for shareholders and their former CEO who walked away with 10's of millions... If you want to work for a rigid, inflexible insurance company right out of the 50's come here.

Pros

Salary. Good benefits if you stay for 5 years.

Cons

This review is in reference to the Houston branch. Heavy turnover! Very few Underwriters stay longer than a year. About 10 Underwriters have left in the past 12 months. Red Flag. Poor management. Bullying approach used to encourage results, but this approach puts a damper on morale. It is not uncommon to find managers yelling at employees and belittling them. The term "micro-manager" has been used to describe the management in the Houston office. Heavy monitoring of everything you do. For Underwriters who are used to somewhat of a work/life balance, you won't find it here. There is no 'work from home' option and there is monitoring of the time you get into the office and the time you leave. Make sure you don't go over your 45 minute lunch! Unrealistic workload designed to not pay out bonuses. Expect to work late nights and weekends to "meet expectations" of your job, otherwise accept being mediocre and don't expect a bonus. Multiple meetings a week to ask Underwriters what they are doing and what they plan to do the next week. This is normal if it was done less frequently, but multiple times a week is very excessive. There is a lot of favoritism here. No diversity. Very few women Underwriters. Certain people are treated better than others and it's not related to performance. The Houston office is run like a dictatorship and it's stressful. Bottom line, if you decide to work here for the good salary, just know that you've been warned.
