No clear company vision

CEO approval

Pros

Flexible work at home schedule, depending on your management

Cons

The company does not have a clear vision. Every year it changes and they wonder why there isn't a lot of employee engagement with their ideas. There are certain middle management individuals who make major decisions without the leaders knowledge which could put the company in legal jeopardy. There are no 'checks and balances' to make sure all work is in compliance. These particular managers direct their reports to do things knowing they are not right, and it puts employees in a very bad position. The company bought the Norwood group/book of business, but have let most of them go. Those clients left because they recognized TA couldn't deliver what was promised. In turn, they let the Norwood people go because they are paid more than the IOWA employees. Bad move, as the Norwood team has more knowledge and commitment to delivering quality service. TA is a insurance company, and that is what they should stick to. They will never be a big player in the 401(k) market.
