Pros

Unum is a bit of an old fashioned company, and that comes with some positive things. They treat their employees very well. They value loyalty, and their benefits reflect it, particularly their retirement benefits. If you're interested in a company where you can work for 10 - 20 years or more this is the company for you.

Cons

There's a flip side. As a direct result of their values, Unum has a dated IT staff, and a dated IT mindset. They struggle to organize in a way that can position them to keep up with the changing face of technology. I'll add, if you're looking for salary over total compensation you will find that Unum is not very competitive.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
