Run don't walk - toxic ownership.

Pros

At one point the company was on the same page with the same vision. There was a sense of team. It has a nice office, some good people left.

Cons

The company went independent. The partners that own the company now are ex-carrier big wigs and in my opinion are in it to line their own pockets and have no heart. Life leadership is the worst of the bunch - if you knew the back story there you'd never want to work there. The ex-president seems to have just faded away in the face of the new alpha-dog leadership. They had a younger exec and he tried at one point but he left before it went south or before he was pushed out. Since then we had no new leadership that is a force for change. It's very sad actually - the employees are needing leadership but that's not what they are getting and they are too afraid to say anything. This company could have been great. With its current ex-carrier ownership it may never be great again.

Good and bad

Pros

If you are in with the management, this is a great place to work. Good benefits and a fun work environment.

Cons

This is one of most poorly managed companies I've ever seen. With over 20 years in this industry, I've seen few companies that lack the vision this one does. It was great when run by its founder. Once the management was turned over to an actuary, it has been a nightmare. Performance in your job is not rewarded - personal relationships with management is. Dishonesty, finger pointing and fault finding are rampant. For a while it became a joke that if you are a good, hard working, honest person that gets results, they will find a way to get rid of you. It is managed to protect the incompetence of those "in" with the management. Compensation is extremely biased in favor of management. It's really too bad this company lost its leadership and vision. It was once a great place to work.

Pros

The location is good. The building is nice. The landscaping is nice. It's near great shopping. You'll learn about annuities and life insurance and you might meet a few nice people.

Cons

There is no career pathing. They make no effort to advance people, unless they are a white male. Benefits are pretty good. There is little allowance for work/life balance. Unless you are senior management, the pay is not great (with the exception of those who have been there more than 10 years). Senior management receives hefty bonuses, but employees do not. The majority of senior management and ownership is in it for the money only.
