Has Potential to be a Good Company - Antiquated “Old Boys Club” Culture

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits Volunteer opportunities for great causes Flexible Handled COVID very well Fairly new CEO is a reasonable person and is making adjustments, however slow

Cons

Pay is low. People are leaving (all positions) and getting 20-35% better salary for less work. Old boys club. Culture built around outward facing, mostly white male marketing representatives, with a very specific look (Think Madmen). It’s very problematic when you consider they have the most influence in the company. Lots of nepotism. Questionable practices by marketing held up as not only acceptable but also encouraged. Marketing/Underwriting is supposed to function as push/pull, but marketing typically gets the edge. Underwriting position more likely to be female and/or minority. Without saying too much it’s a hodgepodge of disparate treatment/impact, but I guess they feel comfortable because of forced arbitration. Account Associates are stuck in the middle. High stress job for low pay=high turnover and knowledge gaps. Culture of blame. Micro aggressions, insults, invalidations abound. DE&I efforts mostly performative. DE&I campaigns are many times tone deaf. ex.

Pros

The Benefits are okay. That's all.

Cons

Extremely negative competitive environment. The company is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. No proper training in place so new employees dont last. They get frustrated with teammates and find other opportunities. No room for advancement, people suck in same position for years!

Company for people who don't need to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

This is very much a teamwork environment, everyone is here to help everyone else. A lot of time off, managers value work/life balance.

Cons

Everyone in this position has a spouse who actually pays the bills at home and are here just so they can have something to do during the week . There is no money in this position, this is not a career. The opportunities for advancement are incredible slow, with the company much, MUCH preferring lateral promotions over anyone actually going up the corporate latter, as an AE they give you a chart showing all the positions your allowed to apply for, all have relatively the same pay as the AE position. This is not a company to grow in. Because this position is not valued, they pay next to nothing, better off flipping burgers.
