      Pros

      Some teams are better than others. Does provide some flexibility to schedule but they don’t allow permanent work from home.

      Cons

      Pay is not competitive with the increasing pay at any other job. Culture changed a lot since Covid started. They are also very pushy about the vaccine & masks.

      Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on your employee experience at GreatAmerica. We appreciate your perspective and thoughts regarding flexibility, compensation, and our response to CoVID-19. Within GreatAmerica’s team-based environment, we find that we are better together. Over the past couple of years, we’ve learned new ways of doing business while leveraging tools and technology to help us stay connected and facilitate collaboration. We are still learning about what works best to support our customers from a team-member flexibly standpoint. The experience we deliver to our customers will remain top of mind as we explore longer term flexibility options which meet the needs of our team members. Compensation is a complex subject and I appreciate your feedback on this. At GreatAmerica, we review our compensation plans often to ensure they are fair and competitive. I welcome you to reach out to Human Resources at applicant@greatamerica.com to address your specific concerns more fully or to share your ideas. It would be hard to deny that COVID changed a lot of things. One thing that hasn’t changed since the start of COVID, is our response to it. I would encourage you to check out this article, which was published at the onset of COVID in March 2020: https://www.greatamerica.com/news/greatamerica-covid-19-update. While this article is a little dated, I find the content relevant and true today. Our top priorities have been and remain the safety and well-being of our employees and customers. To that end, we have followed the guidance of the CDC and navigated the mandates and law set forth by local, state, and federal jurisdictions. Culture is key at GreatAmerica; it’s unique and what I believe sets us apart from our competitors. We take steps to nurture our culture in many ways, including periodic employee engagement surveys which help us stay in tune with our team members, through investing in tools that help us connect and collaborate, and by providing opportunities for our team members to engage and connect with each other through internal network group programs and activities. We will continue to preserve, strengthen, and foster the culture we have; it and the people that make it are what make us great. Thank you for being a part of GreatAmerica and the contributions you made to support our work here!

      Pros

      There are a lot of things that make GreatAmerica an excellent place to work, such as the culture, the exciting opportunities to grow, and the people that surround you, but what makes it really great is the direct impact you personally can have on all of those things. Personally, the freedom I have in my role (and the accompanying trust my leaders have in me) is something I wouldn't exchange for anything. I feel like I lucked out by both A) winding up at GreatAmerica, and B) landing in my particular role. That being said, it's important for me to emphasis that they are focused on hiring the right people first, whereas finding the perfect fit comes second. They've even gone so far as to make custom roles for people who don't fit the predetermined mold. Seeing a company take those extra strides to keep their talent is really encouraging as an employee!

      Cons

      The company can be a little old fashioned in some ways (i.e. they seem to want people to primarily work in the office rather than from home, even though we have the capability to do so now), but it's coming from a good place. They want us to have this united, team structure with all of the comradery that comes with being in the office. This is a structure I personally enjoy, but I think they should offer WFH up as more of an option to those team members that would benefit from it.
