Very much an old boy's club atmosphere. Not much loyalty from management to the employees.

Pros

Some strong leadership, if you were lucky enough to be with them.

Cons

Chaotic priorities. Very cut throat at the top in IT, very political. VPs often didn't work well together and were often playing political games that ultimately weren't in the best interest of their employees.

If You're Looking At A Leadership Role w/ CNO Beware of HR

Business Outlook

Pros

CNO has a core of tenured staff that embraces servicing policyholders and the field sales teams they support. There are a lot of good intentions shared by the ELG, however very few are ever followed through with.

Cons

Beware of the Enterprise HR Leadership team! The Carmel office is led by an incompetent, power hungry VP. Everything runs through him, the CHRO is kept in a glass house and business unit leaders are given no access to her. There have been several senior leaders voice their displeasure with this VP and is shady business practices when comes to dictating compensation for promotions and scoping new roles for the organization. In an environment where companies are increasing compensation to retain and attract top talent, CNO's doing the opposite and are low balling people being promoted and are paying incoming employees in the lower 5% of the Insurance space. This has led to a severe decrease in the number of sales agents that field management has been able to attract and retain. As of right now there are a lot better insurance companies offering better compensation.
