Micro Manage Much?

Pros

Decent pay for the industry. Benefits are okay. Fellow workers are really great. Flexible, though I hear that new hires are only being offered hybrid positions.

Cons

The company suffers from everyone in upper management seemingly being a lifer at Philadelphia. There's no outside perspective. Their systems are inherently micro managey the way its built. "Why haven't you clicked anything in the system in the last three hours?" because not everything is something you do in the system. There is a severe lack of understanding between east coast/west coast business. Local management is beholden to edicts brought down by home office that just don't make common sense. New business goals are outrageously high. In the entire western region 25 of 33 underwriters did NOT reach goal. Those that did had special circumstances as to how it happened. I would not recommend them to anyone I knew. Bad reputation with our agents, who feel Philadelphia is taking advantage of situations instead of partnering. It's unfortunate, because it could be a special place to work. Just a lot of heavy handedness from above.
