Pros

Health benefits were good. I went from having none and having to pay out of pocket so for me it seemed much cheaper. They had a lot of "food days" so you could get some free food on a regular basis.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. The company was more concerned with quantity of output than quality. If you could put out more work it didn't matter if it was incorrect or came back in to get fixed over and over again they liked that you continually made a "band-aid" fix for those. I spent a lot of time digging and getting to the bottom of issues to fix them permanently so my "numbers" weren't as high as they wanted so I always got passed for promotion. I would do the work of and was trusted with the work of higher level employees because I did it right I just never got promoted for it.

Pros

Laid back culture (could be both good and bad) No micro-managing (depends on the manager) Friendly co-workers Flexible work schedule Great benefits including medical, dental, tuition reimbursement, good 401k match, volunteer days, metro & parking subsidies, etc Senior management (including CEO) is accessible/friendly

Cons

Not technology driven Lack of vision with regards to technology Not many employees are tech savvy (some are very old school and sometimes can be frustrating to work with) No formal training No career advancement opportunities (you pretty much have to wait until someone quits) No room for innovation; people are used to do things in certain ways and are reluctant to change. Most of them have been with the company for 5-10 years.

Pros

Ameritas is a diversified company with multiple locations. For the most part, senior management is personable and approachable. People are friendly. The company still offers some great benefits.

Cons

The majority of the work is placed on a few individuals so it's not uncommon to work long hours. Management seems to turn a blind eye to unproductive employees or management. Conflict is often avoided.
