Pros

Co-Workers are the heart of the company. Helping those in need that had the fore sight to purchase an LTC policy is very fulfilling

Cons

With all of the transformation, there is uncertainty and an increased workload. The grey areas and the unknown can be a little scary

Pros

-Best volunteer-oriented company I've ever heard experienced -Employees want to make a difference but don't have good leadership -Good work-life balance -Focused on ensuring the policyholder is the number one priority

Cons

-Horrendous corporate communication, from all levels of management -Floundering strategic vision and leadership to go with it -Management likes to willfully hide news about key developments (e.g. org announcements, corporate ratings, strategies, etc.) from their employees -Recent HR initiative to retitle and adjust employees' salaries was unfair and inequitable for current and any new employees -Laughable severance package
