      Excellent benefits, terrible management

      Employee benefits internal sales

      Pros

      The benefits at this company were excellent, from vacation time to health care. Employees are great people who work hard and try to better the company.

      Cons

      Management at multiple positions do not have experience in the Employee Benefits Industry. The Internal desk has 4 managers, none of which know the products or industry, as they all started in 2013. They do not know what is best for the company because they have not been in the industry long enough, makes for some frustrating decisions. Head of Internal "Sales" team is a lifelong underwriter with 0 sales experience.

      Pros

      Flexibility and work environment are extremely positive. Entry level salaries are decent.

      Cons

      Extremely hard to grow in the company. Better to get in and get experience and then move on.

      Poor morale and uncertainty of the future plague workplace

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work/life balance where people felt comfortable leaving early or coming in late if they needed to attend to personal business. Free parking and self-contained campus.

      Cons

      Awful morale. They tend to keep people around who are terrible employees because they are afraid of getting rid of them. In all my years, I have never seen an environment where people could basically get away with anything and not have consequences. Everyone walks around expecting the place to be closed at any time. Horrible brand recognition where "no one still knows your name." No opportunity at all for advancement.
