Pros

Salary Reviews are always on time Good Benefits other than items noted under cons New management is getting involved so maybe things will change for the better

Cons

No opportunity for advancement . You will stay at the same level at which you were hired unless you play the political game. There are many people within the organization that have been with the company for over 5 years with absolutely no chance for advancement. Limited flex time for most people. Little or no work at home opportunity. No internal job postings. All hires seem to be from outside the company even though there are many capable individuals working for the company already. Separate vacation and sick days in lieu of PTO No opportunity to buy additional vacation weeks

Thank you for your comments. Currently there are no advanced postings for internal candidates; however, all open positions are posted on the Everest Career site. Employees have access to this website and are encouraged to apply for positions through the online portal and indicate that they are current employees, for close consideration. Everest has also implemented a formal work from home policy & a new Flex Time policy, which allow employees to take time off during their normally scheduled core hours by making up the time on an alternate day(s) during the same week. Both policies are intended to help promote work/life balance.

Pros

*Competitive pay *If you are lucky enough to work out of certain office locations (i.e., the Warren HQ), then there are some really fantastic office events and celebrations. However, this depends on the office location and each office’s building manager.

Cons

*While Everest succeeds at attracting top talent, it fails at maintaining that talent. There is little to no support for employees looking for internal job opportunities or growth. *Many other reviewers have mentioned a high turn-over rate and I couldn’t agree more. The turn-over rate is very high! * Management is quick to place blame on their direct reports. This is true for the department that I worked in and from many other departments as well. Middle-managers are quick to agree to projects, without giving their team and direct reports enough time or resources to complete the project. There is a lack of support from middle-management to advocate for their team. Which causes a lack of communication on all levels to complete these tasks successfully. *The culture at Everest encourages a huge power-imbalance between the C-suite and regular employees. The executives are treated like they are above everyone else by middle-management, and everyone seems too afraid to give crucial or critical feedback to them. *Everest is pushing against hybrid work schedules. I expect that hybrid work schedules at Everest won’t be around much longer, since Everest constantly dangles the threat over it’s employees heads that they are willing to take away hybrid work. *You are expected to be available 24/7. Employees are given very little respect on PTO days, weekends, or after-hours. It’s not surprising to find yourself and your team working on days off. *The on-boarding and training process for new hires is disorganized and very much a "sink or swim" situation.
