This place is like a cult - Anonymous employee Combined Insurance Employee Review

Years ago, when I worked there, they had courses for their sales staff that were based on the Dale Carnegie-esque self helpish teachings of a jackhammer named W Clement Stone, called PMA. Positive Mental Attitude. At first they had their agents do the courses which sort of made sense. Then they started targeting the office staff “don’t you want to help yourself?”. I was told it’d help my career there if I took one. But it did not and I felt forced into cult-dumb. The co also whined when I needed a root canal because I had to have several appointments, and they said it was too many so it’d be without pay. They also denied us our coffee breaks (illegal).
