Pros

Easy commute...401k is AWESOME!!!! Now I am typing something else because I am required to.

Cons

Management is a joke. No backbone to stand up to the bullies. They call everything a project...with nothing defined. The campus looks good on the outside but heaven forbid you go past the first floor...you would be better off working in the lobby. Outdated EVERYTHING....don't even waste your time trying to suggest something, nothing happens. There is no originality with anything. They take all their ideas from other organizations...which is why they are doing so much hiring outside. If you are an agent or a customer, just know they treat you both the same...like trash. This place is so VP heavy it's a joke. I guess they give out that title to fill the reserved spots. The pay is not bad but you will lose control at this place. Go somewhere else...I will. Ps...go somewhere else

Toxic culture

Pros

Good vacation, PTO, nice coworkers, and nice faculties.

Cons

Management here is terrible and is seriously ruining the company. There is a “gotcha” mentality and it’s not possible to meet all of their expectations or meet goals all the time due to the volume and workload. Micromanaging here is the worst I’ve ever seen and management in general just seems incompetent. Files are documented incorrectly but if you don’t document that in your files it can be deemed as “not following management direction” and you can get written up. They seem to have a running list of things that you aren’t doing right. Another thing I’ve noticed here is management tends to retaliate and they bully people and act more like prison guards then a source of support. Culture here is so toxic and it made the job unbearable.

Horrible Mann

Pros

None anymore. Not the same company it was ten years ago.

Cons

No clear direction. Company changes management constantly. Three CEO's in 10 years. Agents contracts and compensation change yearly. Claim agents own business, yet contract changed to allow for company to take business for zero compensation at any time. Very poor outlook.
