      Chaotic Mess

      Pros

      You get a paycheck and no other pro.

      Cons

      Totally dysfunctional and toxic work environment. The managers are bullies. They have an incredible high turnover and are so desperate they will hire anyone - no matter how unqualified. the average staff tenure is 6 months. The recruiting department is incompetent. Avoid this place.

      Toxic leadership and low morale

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, PTO, work from home

      Cons

      Low salary for the role expectations. The environment is toxic, morale is low and the department is run by narcissistic ‘leaders’. Work/life balance does not exist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people I worked with in all states were wonderful.

      Cons

      Senior managment and the older CEO did not do a good job. Many decisions and mergers did not make any sense, especially putting actuaries and investments in one department. Billable hours were obsessions and people were only numbers. Moral was down. Hopefully the new CEO will change things around. Many good people are gone.
