Pros

Awesome benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

The "Communications" department is really a Word Processing department. This job requires you to silently work at a desk all day and make redline corrections to unexciting insurance materials with very rare positive human interaction. There is absolutely no upward mobility available in this department. They only give raises once a year, and it is a very menial raise. You are constantly working under tight deadlines, as they understaff the department, and people are not often friendly whilst their projects are in the process of completion. The manager does nothing to make the job fun or even bearable. You are treated like an emotionless, thoughtless robot for the most part. This is not a job for anyone with actual ideas or aspirations. I got catfished into this position - they really sell it as something it is not. I stayed for the pay and benefits but found out after two years of no professional or personal growth, that it was a mistake to do so.

Pros

Career potential is apparent, and expectations are clear

Cons

The training is not very good; most of the job is learned by doing, rather than through official channels.

Pros

A true “team effort” environment. I think it really depends on who your team lead is and the dynamic of the group you work with. You will get a ton of experience fine tuning skills as they provide constant trainings and resources to learn. Decent pay when compared to competitor companies and great 401k plan. Plenty of company and marketing events. Hybrid work is great. Again to preface, who you work with can make or break the atmosphere, but everyone I’ve met has been extremely nice and willing to help. Opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Health benefits could be better. Company is really pushing new business and there can be a lot of work and last minute fires to put out that can feel daunting. There have been quite a few times I’ve worked late into the night to get things wrapped up. You need to self organize or things can easily fall through the cracks very quickly. A lot of meetings that can take up a majority of your day - leaving less time to get actual work done.
