Pros

Good company culture overall. Hybrid work schedule. Supportive management for the most part.

Cons

Compensation does not match the level/volume of work being done. My workload has increased by twice as much as this time last year and I'm still making the same amount of money. Poor recognition program for receiving potential awards. Growth is very difficult. You have to know all the right people to get a new job and do an excessive amount of networking, no matter what experience you have. Some departments seem to be biased and will hire from within rather than hire someone who has put in a ton of effort and has experience. Promotions to the next level of the role need to be applied for. You have to go through the whole interview process to be promoted to OAS 2, when it should be based on experience and level of work being handled. As there are otherwise no promotions offered in this role.

Pros

Timely communication from Talend acqisition team. Scheduling the interviews with detailed information was very helpful. The interviewers were warm and supportive which made the technical and behavioral interviews feel comfortable to answer. Great company culture and familiar faces made a full time return after 10 years as consultant is very exciting.

Cons

Room for improvement regarding response time after each interview rounds.

Pros

We receive continuous training to stay up to date with new state regulations and market trends. My colleagues make the day go by quickly. The benefits are very reasonable. There is room for career growth if you know how to network. I appreciate their consistent push for community volunteer opportunities.

Cons

The personal lines department seems to be falling apart right now. Issues with the internal systems are resulting in underwriters doing multiple jobs and becoming a dumping ground for all agent issues even if they aren't underwriting related. I don't feel that the directors are truly expressing to the senior leadership team the impact that all these issues are having on the mental health and quality of life for the employees that are on the front lines trying to maintain a good reputation for the company. It's sad to see how quickly this department has gone downhill and the amount of quality underwriters that are jumping ship for different departments or different companies all together. What's even sadder it that no one with authority seems to care, or listen, when concerns are brought forth. I truly advise anyone considering applying for any position within the personal insurance department to hold off until things start to change - it's not worth the mental anguish that you'll experience.
