Not what it used to be

Pros

They still offer insurance, 401K w/some matching, pension though as a new hire I wouldn't count on it.

Cons

The company is no longer family friendly. Limited life/work balance and no flexibility. Many of the professional jobs are time card and they eliminated the sick leave and work from home flexibility. Micro-managing and lack of support for the agency force is a common vision.

Pros

Benefits Great coworkers For me - close to home

Cons

I’ve never seen a company self destruct so fast. They’ve begun outsourcing several jobs with very little accountability of the third party. I used to spend my day helping customers but am now dealing with unhappy and confused customers and coworkers. Upper management is determined to push through their ideas no matter the cost to employees and customers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely well paid in comparison to the rest of the insurance industry. Excellent training. Quickly accrue PTO. Outstanding opportunities if you want to live in TX, AZ, GA. Better technology than most of the industry.

Cons

Lack of communication from mgmt above team manager/section manager level (i.e., from Corporate level). Ridiculous amount of hoop-jumping for using the time off you have earned. Closing 11 facilities across the country and sending jobs to Texas or Arizona. People are being asked to do more with fewer resources. The motto "consistency across the enterprise" means shoving a square peg in a round hole more often than not.
