Pros

Quite a few talented and passionate people.

Cons

- non competitive pay - most talented people don't stay - No matter how well you perform it is very hard to move to new positions in the company. -Internal job performance is actually not even used to evaluate internal candidates, to create a fair and equal playing field for internal and external candidates. Leaderships hides this from employees, quite unethical. They want external talent more. - CEO Tom Wilson has a history of questionable character behind closed doors - Senior officers have said they don't feel comfortable expressing their true opinions - Executives maintain in leadership positions despite a history of cursing people out - Retaliation is quite common - Non diverse leaders mostly old white men who have been in insurance for decades - Fired 10% of workforce in the middle of a global pandemic, not due to performance but due to strategy. The company made more money than ever during pandemic. - Did 3 reorgs and made people feel they had secure jobs and then laid of a masisve portion of people - Incompetent senior leadership focused solely on supporting their delusional success stories for poltical purposes - Only certain levels get bonuses - Improper governance structure which allows Tom Wilson to have too much control over the company - Promotion based on tenure not merit - Horrible culture for innovation

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
