Pros

Strong Leadership, benefits, opportunities for development and focus on work on work-life balance. Many great improvements in the development of things like an Appetite Guide and Letter of Authority to provide clarity in areas that truly needed it in the CL department Have really looked to bring in younger people to help grow the talent and the company. Promote a lot from within the company, including across departments.

Cons

Level above CL UW Mgrs are not as in tune with our agency plant as they could be and tend to cater to agencies too much, which undermines the front line person. CL Underwriters and their mangers are truly agency facing and have to deal with the day to day questions, phone calls and account decisions. Letters of authority were not updated when or as often as we were told they would be. They also did not reflect an individuals ability as they apply on a per position basis. That may have since changed. Training dept for CL has few people in it, with much of the training falling on the UW managers and more experienced underwriters. That could be strengthened to have more help from other positions above the UW manager to help in the development and retention of younger employees.

Pros

Great Salaries, exceptional PTO (recently introduced Summer Fridays), benefits, retirement plans etc. I have had the opportunity to work at Grange since 2014. Since then I have had the opportunity to cross market myself amongst other departments. I feel strongly about companies being willing to promote or even allow an employee to make a lateral move cross departmentally. Grange is great at making sure that you are being utilized for your greatest strengths. I have known multiple people who showed an interest in something and within a few months were given an opportunity to move into their desired role. There are lots of Resource Groups that are available to all employees. These groups provide networking and professional opportunities that you would not get otherwise at another National carrier. In my department, we have employee recognition programs where employees are recognized for the accomplishments they've done in the last month. It creates for good and positive morale in the workplace. We also have team volunteer days, team outings and FUN happy hours. The people at Grange are genuinely great people to work with that care about the growth of the company.

Cons

Grange is still very old school in that we are still expected to dress very business like, which makes sense when we are agent facing, but most companies allow for their employees to where jeans and to have a more business causal attire. Some managers are remote employees in that they are located in another state. This results in a potentially good manager becoming more of a micro manager due to them feeling like they have to constantly keep tabs on their employees because they miss out on being with them in home office. In my opinion, it goes against the Grange culture that says that Grange is interested in a Work/Life balance. My particular manager gets alerts via our Skype system when I am "away" from my desk, which may only mean that I have been on the phone with an agent, in a non-scheduled meeting, at lunch etc.

Pros

The revitalization of Grange's Commercial Lines operation in the time I have been here is incredible. Forward thinking and knowledgeable CL leadership at all levels that genuinely care about their people and driving profitable growth. We were well behind the industry a few years ago and have made the needed changes to position for success in an industry that is evolving. At the rate CL is growing, future career opportunities are endless. Inclusive culture that embraces diversity, gorgeous corporate office, approachable senior leadership, good benefits and flexible work arrangements are just a few of the other perks.

Cons

Long term Grange employees that were used to coasting struggled with changes necessary to catch us back up with the industry and keep us relevant. We've brought in several very talented new employees. Like any organization evolving, there can be growing pains.
