Pros

Unum has an excellent employee culture. The higher up management from my experience was very approachable and willing to help you develop. I only had 1 unsatisfactory manager in the 7 years that I worked there. Their home offices are beautiful and include an insight cafeteria and gym.

Cons

I only left Unum because I got offered $20,000 more at another company to do my same job. Everyone I know is leaving Unum because their pay is on the lowest end of the pay scale for any given job. For example, the pay scale for my role is (roughly) $68,000 to $98,000. Unum paid me $68,500 while my current employer pays me $85,000. Unum is a good “get your foot in the door” employer but lots of tenured people are leaving the company for better pay elsewhere. If Unum paid me what I make at my current employer, I’d honestly consider going back. Also, they overpaid me by $1000 after I left, and now they want me to pay them back, which is ridiculous.

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.
