Globe Life reviews

Rampant nepotism within executive circles leads people who are lacking in social skills and education to be promoted beyond their ability. Some of these people will be managing you. Seriously outdated computer infrastructure. (it is hard to use mainframe software that does not have a Graphic Interface. ) *My Story: I stated working at Torchmark in the customer service department answering phones. I was hoping to work hard every day and possibly be recognized by management and move up...considering that I had the requisite academic credentials, and was an efficient and punctual worker. When I was offered a higher up position by a Vice President, who is basically the only person who ever recognized me, I was led to believe that I may get the position but later learned that HR and other "forces" had an unspoken hold on transfers from department to department. No one ever responded to my application even though a Vice President gave it to HR...of course he wasn't related to the owners so...yeah. The really sick part, I wasn't promoted out of my department because I was "too valuable"...obviously not valuable enough to be promoted. After this I realized I would never be promoted and left. When I left I was doing a job that people are now being payed a great deal more for, phone enrollments. People in the Legal Department are extremely rude.

No flexible hours. Low pay. Rare advancement. The only thing "management" cares about is how many pieces you do per hour, even though it's work that should not be piecemeal. Even analytical work or work that may take some research is timed. It's an inaccurate and unfair way to pay an employee. Merits are not rewarded. There are employees that have been in the same position for 10+ years, not because they haven't applied elsewhere within the company, but because the management refuses to allow them to move up within the company. I had an immaculate record at the company, popular amongst employees, had been there over 4 years, was one of the few that had a BA degree, and I wanted to stay with the company but was bored with my current position. Management refused to move me to another position within the company. I left this company and doubled my salary with another company.
