Pros
My peers. 401k match. Relatively low health premiums.
Cons
I started with AmerUs and it was 180 degrees after Athene bought Aviva. It is very paternalistic with topdown management. Do not expect collaboration or idea generation - you are told what to do. They frowned upon working remotely, yet 80% of the c-suite flew home to the coasts on the weekend. Many employees worked very long hours to go public and were awarded a t-shirt. There waszero transparency with salaries and positions and no objectivity in getting raises. Your merit is on a department bell curve...meaning they compare Bob who's doing job A to Sally doing job B, rather than you doing your own job. They intentionally do not tell you your salary range and do not have job descriptions available. If you have a huge ego, white, male, play golf, and above age 50, you'll fit right in. I felt like we warped back to the 1950s.
