Pros

Good benefits package. Good PTO. Good time off for holidays and special events.

Cons

there is a great lack of communication from management to the employees. Not in all cases but it appears that way more often than not. There is a lot of good ole boy system still in place there. Way too much stress put on employees. There needs to be more claims examiners to process claims. Just not enough feedback from Colonial or the parent company UNUM. Not enough recognition of the work done and asking employees to work way too much. Making employees feel like they are not valued. Takes way too long to process claims and there are way to many mistakes made in the claims process.

Pros

Opportunity to make sommething yourself is there, you've got the ability to run a business how you want, make your own salary.

Cons

Zero compensation unless you sell, and then they take 80% of your sales, no management abilities throughout the levels, no real direction given, no training, they basically expect you to do it all on your own and then make them money. Almost all Account Executives, ADM's, and DM's run their own business...be very causious when the "recruit" you, they are only looking for another body to provide money for the ADM's and DM's, because they make the money, not you.
