The Cincinnati Insurance Company

Is this your company?

CFC is like going into the dark ages of technology and company culture where the good old boy network is alive and well. - IT Associate The Cincinnati Insurance Company Employee Review

Pros

Its great if your mom, dad, aunt or uncle work there. You do get free lunch in the "dining room" but that gets old fast. They used to have a pretty good pension plan but it is being phased out - new associates are stuck with a 401k and small match.

Cons

CFC has a lack of career opportunities, pay raises that don't keep up with inflation and almost no training budget. The IT department just implemented a goofy organization structure in IT where I report to a service manager, resource manager and project manager. CFC is very slow to adopt any new technology - upgrades take place when the vendors stop supporting the software. Nepotism is rampant at CFC so don't be surprised if certain people move ahead faster than others for no apparent reason.

Pros

I love my territory, my direct manager, and my team. I enjoy my coworkers. The lunch stipend is nice. I’ve had a lot of really great mentors during my time. The company had given me some good opportunities including free continuing education and career advancement.

Cons

The pay has been lower than the industry standard. The benefits are decent in the long term, but the raises for those growing within the company are almost insulting. Any attempts to negotiate are shut down. Bonuses have also been on the low end, although I recognize they aren’t a given. Paid time off is also somewhat limited with slow increases every 5 years. Upper management has changed and I don’t feel it’s been positive. There has been low morale and high turnover. Starting pay has remained stagnant despite increased demands of returning to office which I feel contributes to staffing difficulties. Cost of gas, car maintenance, and work attire have now cut into wages. The company felt like it cared about its staff when I started, but I have begun to feel like a cog in the corporate wheel. Corners are being cut in the name of “efficiency,” however the foundational flaws haven’t been addressed.
