Pros

Generous accrual PTO Affordable healthcare (but only two HSAs)

Cons

Mesirow needs to adopt the ALLIANT WAY being that we are now an Alliant owned company. I heard they used to offer more to their employees when Alliant was Mesirow Financial. Adopt the Alliant flexibility. Become more flexible. Let go of the control you can’t seem to shake and allow more flexibility with your Illinois offices. Think about your overall employee's wants and needs to create a better work life balance. People are dropping like flies here and the turnover is increasing as people leave for places with better opportunities and more flexibility. I was between Alliant and another competitor before I started and I should have taken the other offer as they seemed to value their employees more during the initial interviews. You have many many millennials working for you at the bottom line (and they're going first)– give them reasons to stay. The few people in control should trust and give their employees more control.

Pros

Strong reputation in the insurance industry with access to large and complex accounts. Competitive compensation and benefits. Opportunity to work with experienced industry professionals and gain exposure to sophisticated commercial insurance programs. Entrepreneurial environment that allows employees to take ownership of their work. Access to resources and technology that can support client service when utilized effectively

Cons

May vary by regions or departments.. Training and onboarding can be inconsistent, particularly for employees transitioning into new teams or specialties. Processes and procedures may vary significantly between offices, regions, and teams, creating confusion and inefficiencies. Some Departments- Limited standardization of workflows, templates, and documentation can lead to unnecessary rework and increased risk of errors. Collaboration and communication between departments can be challenging, making it difficult to obtain timely support or guidance. Role expectations and responsibilities may not always be clearly defined, resulting in ambiguity and shifting priorities. Success often depends heavily on individual team dynamics rather than a consistent company-wide experience. High workloads and competing priorities can make it difficult to balance client service, administrative tasks, and professional development. New employees may face a steep learning curve with limited structured environment. Management likes to tell you to go to the Alliant portal to reference.
