Pros

Co workers can be great.

Cons

The recent layoffs and outsourcing and forcing people to come into the office if they live 50 miles or less is making many people reconsider working here. People are starting to realize that access to the executives and ability to voice concerns doesn't matter. Last year , conservative Ohio Supreme Court Judge was basically given a platform to talk to all employees. Still not sure how that's legal. Corporate keeps insisting they're still inclusive, while encouraging votes for people who will harm them. It looks like old fashioned ideas are winning out everywhere. Everything tech wise is either outsourced or has incompetent people in charge. Technology is old . Issues with technology are ever present, but CIO still has his job. Communications about returning to the office made it sound like they couldn't build trust remotely- which made a lot of remote employees confused. It looks like we are punished with return to the office because a few higher ups couldn't figure out how to use technology to have an effective meeting. But it's phrased as "to build community ". They are spending money on rehabs of multiple spaces, while the claim was there was no money in the budget for raises... Many people will quit or do their worst work from February on . Imagine commuting 40 miles each way in the snow, sleet and ice..to work for a small insurance carrier most people never heard of.

We’re very sorry to hear you feel this way. We know that transitioning to two days in the office and three days at home will be change for some of our associates, which is why we made sure to inform associates of this change several months in advance to help them prepare. It’s also important to note that while we will be transitioning to a hybrid schedule, we will continue to embrace our policy of flexibility to accommodate the day-to-day needs of our associates. We are open to your feedback and suggestions throughout this process. If you have additional feedback you’d like to share, please do not hesitate to reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner.

Pros

Business causal environment when we have to go into the office

Cons

Constantly adding high paying directors and made up positions but you keep shrinking the people that are responsible for bringing in the business that actually make money. More and more are promoted to these glorified secretarial roles that are not needed but keep reducing the amount of underwriters. You could hire several underwriters for one of those high salary positions.
