Pros

Strong, ethical company that has performed consistently. Great place to learn underwriting. Work/life balance is pretty strong (you're able to turn off, no one works crazy hours), benefits are solid as well.

Cons

Typically on the lower side of the pay scale compared to competitors. Lots of metrics, how many quotes per day/month etc. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but other companies don't get as micro as them but it does hold everyone accountable (they have a good system to keep close track of performance). Other places are a bit more relaxed about it.

Beware of micromanagement

Pros

Paid Travel, 5.5% 401k match after 2 years, lots of free food days.

Cons

This location has gone down hill since Covid. The “one year training” is a myth and a scam to dazzle you with travel and the money corporate has, then after 4-5 weeks you will have a book of business and be severely under trained and under paid. The only people promoted are the last ones standing after all the turn over and a warm body was needed to fill the position. The new MPL VP is a micro manager gone rouge who is making poor business decisions and has paired up with another micromanager to target employees. They have essentially demoted anyone who has visited HR in the past 12 months under the disguise of “restructuring”. The new motto seems to be that everyone should be constantly working in fear. There are constant emails and meetings about not producing enough, meeting numbers, or just straight up random “reviews” of your work in attempt to catch you making a mistake. There is no support or recognition and managers believe to be above quoting or training employees but know how to play the corporate game so they don’t get called out. As an underwriter you will be expected to market your own accounts but will not be paid commission for new business and expected to travel several times a month even if it’s out of state on top of managing your book of business. If you ask for time off management will guilt you and require you ask your team to cover you before approving. You can take all of your concerns to HR but they are reluctant to do their job and will ignore repeat complaints about managers.
