Unum reviews

The work is monotonous, and although they encourage friendship within the department, they get mad if you talk to your neighbors. It can feel a little cagey.

Management leaves a lot to be desired. Company keeps employees living in fear of losing their job. Constant layoffs..small mostly, but some big. They love to layoff employees who have been employed many years (20-40 years of service). And they also layoff many employees in their 50s and 60s. Nice reward after they have worked so hard for the company. This is hidden from press and employees must sign not to ding company or go to press or sue if they want to get severance. It is unbelievable Unum has been so successful in this practice. The press and communities are clueless to Unum's treatment of their employees. Lots of new management. Old Unum management sold their employees out by hiring new mgmt that is slashing, outsourcing and going to the cloud and packaged software. Most of management is yes men and care about their own survival only. Work load was horrendous. Lots of extra hours for years. When you live in constant fear of losing your job, one pushes themselves to far. Lots of employees on stress disabilities, but not a good idea since Unum regularly lays off employees on disability. Oh do they sell disability insurance?!
