Pros

- Fantastic benefits: fully paid health/dental/vision, 2 weeks paid vacay starting Jan 1st, one free pet insurance policy. - 1 child free at the onsite daycare - Bring your dog/cat to work (up to three pets) - The company is growing super fast, so you get to watch that and reap the benefits as added. - Christmas party, monthly events, cheapo branded stuff like mugs/pens/etc - An insurance company that isn't insurance like. We try our best to get people's claims paid instead of the other way around. Even if that includes completing your claim for you (which it nearly always does). - Fancy new building (as long as it gets done- still in construction.) - Onsite workout room (to be ready in Sept 2016)

Cons

- Most management doesn't actually have experience being managers. All newbies. This can be tiring to deal with. Many are micromanagers. They do not treat you with respect unless you come in asking for it. - Pay is VERY low. Benefits may be good, but benefits don't pay the rent. - No maternity leave (uses childcare to keep you quiet about this). - Upper management runs everything and decides everything based on what THEY like not what's good for the company or the 'little people'. - The work is tiring and repetitive. - Not allowed to give any input regarding how our jobs can be done better. - Call center employees are yelled at a LOT. - IT is blamed for a lot of stuff that's not their fault.

Pros

Health Benefits are completely free to employees. New office in Geoegetown is nice. Call center director gladly listens if you have concerns and does try her best to rememdy them- though she needs an admin assistant at this point, she's overworked.

Cons

Zero cost of living raises- you have to transfer departments or bonus heavily once per quarter. Bonusing is difficult if you arent in sales. Working at Trupanion reminds me a lot of being in high school, it's very cliquish. Management clearly picks favorites, and if you're not a favorite you are picked out for performance reviews, withheld from internal promotions, and retaliated against if you call out sick; the latter of which goes against Seattle's paid sick and safety leave act. Management keeps changing operation procedures and tells care and sales agents at the last minute before changing procedures again, then talks down to us when we ask for clarification. No evening support despite being a 24/7 company. Upper management are blissfully kept unaware of employee concerns by lower management.

Pros

People can bring their dogs (and cats) to work, there is dog walking too. The product is top notch, best there is. The concept and what Trupanion offers pet owners is why most of us are trying to stick it out here. There is hope that things will improve....

Cons

The pay and work load ratios are ridiculous (over worked, under paid) The executives and VPs are totally out of touch with reality. They only seem to care about themselves and are unable to relate with those below them. The environment here is chaotic. Ideas, initiatives, goals are always changing and communicated poorly to employees. The environment here encourages passive aggressive complaining/whining by employee's who don't get their way (which happens all the time). Employees are encouraged to "be who you are" ... even if that means you are a jerk, lazy, abrasive etc. most employee are not held accountable and point fingers at others. This starts from the top and trickles down....
