Pros

I was able to find people that I worked with that were professional and competent. My salary was very good for the market and I was happy with it.

Cons

While I was able to find some professional and competent people, that was not the norm. Salaries were generally lower for this market and they definitely got what they paid for. Expectations were unreasonable and management was often abusive. No employee should ever hear cursing at work regardless of their level of management. I have heard the CEO cursing at our director and a president of a division cursing at a front line employee. No management person should ever get up in front of his employees and talk about how his personal reputation is on the line. Are we working for the company or for him personally.

Pros

Employees are a good group to work with.

Cons

There has been a lacking of management direction over the last couple of years. As competition in this space grew, mgmt failed to react and the result was a tremendous loss in market share. Attempts to create new products have been a fiasco (Medicare). A product was rolled out, then cancelled a year later. Claim payment is horrible, caussing difficulty in communicating with customers. Until managment can create a realistic roadmap of the company direction, there will be nothing but chaos from top to bottom. Not rating the new CEO, as the turnover in the C-level suites (in 1 year new: CEO, CFO, CIO, CAO and more) has been very high for any company it is too soon to tell.

Pros

Pay was good for a supervisor. Benefits were average.

Cons

Upper management is horrible and unorganized. No communication! As a salaried employee, you were expected to work 10 hr days, then go home and log on to your pc and continue working. No life/work balance whatsoever! This place is unstable. They have had 6 CEO's and 5 Presidents in the last 6 yrs. Every week we received an email of who the new officers in the co were. very scary!
