Pros

Many of the coworkers are great to work with and go to lunch with.

Cons

Management has no idea what they are doing and treat you badly. You do the work of 3 or 4 people because of the high turnover. Don't work here if you are looking for long term stable employment. Poor work ethics.

Pros

Growth potential and advancement possibilities.

Cons

Company is young and is lagging behind the larger players in the insurance industry in many ways. Poor benefits and pay structure, lack of trust and work/life balance. Management seems to be stuck in the dark ages and is too controlling.

Pros

Almost none, and what little pros exist only benefit management or aren’t worth putting up with the other garbage.

Cons

The most helpful thing to know is that after the rebrand, the new CEO requested that employees bury bad reviews on Glassdoor with the filler garbage you see after April 2020. Notice they were all written pretty close to the same time frame. The new CEO seemed like a nice guy, but company in general has normalized so many toxic behaviors and situations that I’m not sure he will ever fully understand what’s broken. The entire upper management team has cultivated the most toxic and degrading environment I’ve ever seen or been in. Insecurities are expected to be coddled and there is zero chance something isn’t another persons fault. They will never hesitate to throw you under the bus to save face, and they never acknowledge or take responsibility for their own mistakes. If you’ve unknowingly done something that upset them, or they feel you could improve in certain areas, they will tell every person in their path - except the employee directly. Regarding the actual work, let’s be real it’s insurance, but there is zero room at Skyward to want growth or advancement. Implementing goals only goes so far on a one way street, and people stopped caring about them almost instantly. There are no growth or development opportunities, and one misstep trying to reach your goals and taking action is met with a slap on the hand at best. .

We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience with Skyward and we would be pleased to have an opportunity to discuss it with you as we can always learn and grow from everyone’s feedback. We are proud of the incredible work and accomplishments our Skyward Team achieves every day and we are steadfastly committed to provide an environment where our employees’ growth and happiness is reflected in their performance, contribution and engagement. The changes we have made under the new leadership are significant, but our work continues and we improve every day. This year alone, we created added flexibility with remote and hybrid work schedules, new and improved medical, dental, and lifestyle support benefits, increased salaries and bonus incentives, and established a company-funded and employee-led Foundation for charitable giving. Skyward is growing and there is internal movement within the organization. We added 114 new A+ Team Members year-to-date and have promoted 40 people into positions of increased responsibility. As our culture changes and shifts, we understand that some may not be prepared to make the change with us. We acknowledge that the performance-based culture we are instilling may not be for everyone, but the one thing that we will not waver on is on our Company’s GREAT Values which specifically speak to bettering ourselves and supporting that same spirit in each other. Overall, the overwhelming feedback from employees indicates we are headed in the right direction. Your experience sounds like it has been different. Please reach out directly to me if you would like to share more information so that I may be of assistance. Tom Schmitt, Chief People Officer
