Not Good and Not Getting Any Better - Regional Sales Representative Guardian Life Employee Review

Pros

High compensation (which I now hear is gone), a fun work environment between rank and file employees and some middle management. There is some opportunity to advance, but unfortunately that is because the smart people leave. Promotions are based on tenure, so as the smart people leave, the remaining ones automatically move up.

Cons

The senior level management are some of the most incompetent people in business. The key accounts department is a joke. Promotions are made based on tenure and favoritism, not merit. The strategy to grow the business reflects a dead industry model in financial services. Therefore, this company will never grow.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
