Pros

Salary, Co-workers, office location & covered parking.

Cons

Poor, inexperienced, disorganized & micro- management. Department is suffering under manager with small agency experience & supervisor with 2 years of insurance experience. They lack the professional knowledge, wisdom & ability to lead. Top revenue clients are being cheated out of stellar service due to the mixing in of low revenue, high maintenance accounts. Many staff lack knowledge & need additional insurance training. There is too much emphasis on internal processes instead of stellar, knowledgeable client service. Positions are advertised to bait in the best talent then switched after hire. This is unethical. No one wants to be tricked into accepting a position & then have the position altered to one they would never have accepted. No benefits administration during open enrollment. You fend for yourself online. Terrible, expensive benefits. The environment is like a communist country not a professional organization in a democracy. People need jobs to live but are unhappy about how poorly they are treated. Staff are expected to perform a high level of service on an unrealistic, high workload, with inadequate staffing & support.

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
