Pros

You can gain experience in the insurance industry

Cons

Politics- Nepotism is severe. It is truly about who you know and not what you know Management- Metrics driven does not really care about the individual needs Promotions- The process is so tedious that it is almost discouraging for associates who are have truly earned a promotional opportunity Demographics- this is a good ole boy company. If you are not a white male chances are you wont be successful.

Pros

6% 401k match and middle/lower management is typically pretty good

Cons

Where to start… first off, it seems like Cincinnati is trying hard to drown out these bad reviews… just an observation. No diversity at the top. Literally the “suits” all look exactly the same. New CEO is terrible. He doubled his salary (well into the millions) but still pays employees $20 an hour and claims it’s “very competitive”. RTO mandate and then they took away ALL flexibility. Seriously, it’s like with the RTO we went back in time 50 years. PTO is low to start, but now instead of flexing hours to accommodate doctor’s appointments, we’re required to use PTO. CEO stated we would not be moving from our hybrid model but then months later forced it, mocked and laughed at employees who raised serious concerns, and then challenged us to find “better jobs” if we didn’t like the new rules. All departments are hemorrhaging employees, as everyone is finding jobs that have CEO’s from this century. Current employees are now having to do the role of 2-3 people, due to how quickly people are exiting, and they’re getting no pay raise, nothing. Cincinnati insurance is trying to fill vacant roles fast, but unless you’re fresh out of high school, $20 an hour in this economy, with zero flexibility and 10 PTO days, not even off all the major holidays, isn’t going to work. Extremely disappointing because they’ve lost and continue to lose the good employees that are desirable to other companies.

Pros

Stock options and 6% 401k match

Cons

No longer offering a hybrid work schedule. Mandatory 4 days in the office. Low vacation time. You only get an increase in PTO once every 5 years. Systems are slow and outdated
