CUNA Mutual was widely respected as a long-tenured company in the insurance industry. They offered employees things like competitive salaries, a pension, a union, other outstanding benefits and rewarding career opps that spanned decades with steady advancement. This is no longer that company. Mass layoffs have been a regular occurrence with, 50% of the company hired in the last 5 years. These new hires aren’t given the same advantages and often do many more times the amount of work as the company is running in 1 million different directions trying to capture new markets and market share. There is no unified message behind this — just new “highest priority” work that gets dropped on your lap every other day. Ironically with all they are doing to try and compete they come across as more of a dinosaur grasping at straws before extinction. Churning and burning through burnt-out, overwhelmed employees along the way. While rank and file employees and middle management hears “cost reductions” and “doing more with less” …. There’s still a pilot on staff and airplane available to the executive suite.
