Pros

Well paid. Company trips. Benefits. Small perks. Good amount of PTO compared to many American companies.

Cons

The csc is silo’d from other departments so it has its own culture. Simply Business has a great culture. The CSC has its own culture. It has changed into a call center. It can feel like the decisions made are not always in the agent interests. Upper mgt tends to choose what’s best for the company rather than what’s best for agents.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. While we are proud of the culture here at SB and our Customer Solutions Center (CSC), we recognize that there are always areas we can improve upon as we continue to grow.. As we continue to grow and scale as a business, change will inevitably be part of our DNA to ensure we are able to meet our customers' needs in this exciting and growing market for small business insurance. The environment in our CSC is unique and we believe it is a competitive differentiator for our business. However, we appreciate that at times it may feel different to non-customer facing roles within the business. We have recently launched major initiatives such as Better Normal Week andCustomer Week. to ensure our CSC feels part of the broader culture. It also allows us to better leverage the insights from our Agents to make product recommendations. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that we are making decisions that strike the balance of what is best for our people and customers. As always, if you have any further questions or comments the CSC Leadership Team or People Team are always available to chat! -Talent Acquisition Team

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
