Sedgwick reviews

While working on another account, I was not up to speed on the changes for yet another account. When I asked my supervisor for some training to get up to speed after being in another office for several months she advised me that perhaps I was just getting too old to work full time, have a family and attend school. Incidently I finished my master's degree three months later with a 3.8 GPA. A formal complaint was made regarding the age statement and I was downsized out of the company after seven years. I was the only employee removed as they were actually hiring new colleagues. In the meantime, I was placed on a performance review and went from receivng a bonus for my work in 2010 to being an underachiever in 2012. Did I mention that I was in a meeting at one point where managers were directed to performance colleagues out of their jobs if they couldn't work with them!

- Internal communication issues - it’s impossible to get a timely response from anyone because everyone’s workload is too high to get to it all - Dealing with unhappy clients (due to the lack of responsiveness) becomes extremely frustrating, and management is no help ensuring clients that communication will improve - 90% of your day will be putting out fires - Work loads are impossibly high. Many colleagues work well into the night to complete everything. Management won’t force you to do it, but you’ll feel obligated to avoid client complaints. - Very high turnover rate - Management acts like they understand your concerns, but nothing changed in my years and years at Sedgwick - You have to fight for promotions and raises when you’re already doing the work of a more senior role
