Pros

Work life balance is pretty good. You can make up 4 hours in a week, if you have a` doctor appointment, sick kid, or any other thing going. This is great and keeps you from having to take vacation for every little thing. Builders prides itself on the BMIC culture and this means you'll get to partake in charity events, ice cream socials, and other company functions. Vacation starts at about 17 days your first year. They match 5% 401k and your insurance can be as low as 20 bucks. There is flex-time. The people are super nice!

Cons

While there is flex-time, not in the Claims Dept. Why you ask?? Beyond me. We were told because core hours are 8-5 and everyone should be in the office at this time. I think they feel everyone would want to come in early and leave early. That's not the case. Some people like early, some people like to sleep in longer. The office can be real "cliqu-ish". Those that are apart of the clique get what they want, other's do not. If you have worked here for years, you are held in high regard even if your performance is lackluster. Suggestions aren't taken into account by management. The system for claims is absolutely horrible and they refuse to update it. The pay is below standard for claims employees in other areas.

Not the greatest place to work....

Pros

Builders Mutual prides itself on benefits to their employees, including decent medical, dental, vision, LT and ST Disability, along with 401K (BB&T). Flexible hours (depending on your department), and a "family environment".....

Cons

Pay isn't industry standard for specified job titles. BMIC tends to pay less than most any other company in this industry around (keeps overhead down??) Promises of advancement are pretty much a thing only heard of unless you are part of a "cliche" group. Disrespect to employees is common with very little effort made by management to work through solutions. With 1 year of working here, I personally saw over 8 talented employees leave from issues ranging to better pay elsewhere, to not being treated fairly. Insurance is a cut-throat business, what makes you think they wouldn't do the same to their own people?

Pros

Being a part of Builders Mutual is something to be very proud of. As a employee, this company has brought a lot not only to me but to everyone that is a part of this Builders Mutual Team. There is so much knowledge around us and all anyone has to do is to grab hold and take the journey. The opportunity for growth with Builders Mutual is incredible with all of its various Departments which is Claims, Finance, IT (Information Technology) Premium Accounting, Risk Management, Sales and Underwriting just to name a few. Also, Builders promotes from within its organization to give each and every employee the opportunity to advance beyond their expectations. In closing, Builders Mutual truly appreciates the hard work and dedication of each and every employee. I am proud to be part of this team and company.

Cons

Continue to cross train for development of staff to ensure the needs of our customers and employees are met
