Pros

One of the few places for people who live in the cities around the HQ to get experience in a large company environment. Also a con because the culture is incestuous and unable to consider any idea or practice that didn't originate there.

Cons

As a mid-career professional, I joined this company after being heavily recruited. I had worked for some fantastic international companies and thought a job at an upper Midwest based company would have a decent work life balance and culture. Wow, what a mistake. The culture of this organization is straight out of the '50's - command and control, micromanagement to an incredible degree. There is more than enough work to go around, but very little internal support or resources to assist you. The company is long on policy and procedure and short on action. The people local to the HQ will probably never leave - there are very few options in that market, so little new blood gets in -- and certainly no new ideas or attitudes. Very much behind the times compared to their contemporaries. Keep looking unless you need a paycheck now to tide you over.

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that workloads can fluctuate from time to time and encourage our associates to have conversations with their leadership teams for support. Our organization regularly reviews market rates to ensure our compensation rates are competitive. We also strive to offer work life balance along with growth opportunities. We believe our hybrid model is the right blend of at-home days to support flexibility, and in-office days to support team collaboration. Regarding your other comments, we take feedback like this seriously, and I encourage you to reach out to me or another supervisor to discuss your concerns further. Mike Livermoore, AVP Personal Lines Claims
