Micro-managing manager causing severe turmoil

Senior premium auditor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None. However, I would have a few positive comments, as UFG was 'ok to work for' prior to last summer when management changed.

Cons

Most premium auditors literally 'cannot stand' the new management, due to controlling negative micro-mgmt. There is no respect or trust for any employee working in this department. Most employees have over 20-years of experience, but management treats them as if they do not know anything while they themselves do not even understand UFGs product lines (GL). Management has implemented very time-consuming admin busy-work which takes away from completing the audits, but management has not reduced the monthly production count requirement. Management is imposing their childish 'team building' games and meaningless admin busy-work on us without care for our work-life-balance...which no longer exists at UFG.

Pros

There are some nice people. There are TONS of meetings, if that’s your thing. A TREMENDOUS amount of travel, if you’re looking to be on the road. LOTS of events and in person functions, if you don’t want to be able to get any work done.

Cons

Where to begin. I don’t want to bash the company, but this was the worst experience to date. The outlook for this company looks terrible, the profitability is tanking, company outlook downgraded to negative by AM Best. I just don’t see them sticking around. I would think twice about a career here!
