Pros

I worked at the Head Quarters and am only speaking from my experience there. Cannot comment on Branch experience. - People and Leaders want to see their teams and employee body grow - They utilize company-wide surveys and take into account the kind of feedback that is provided on a team-by-team basis - From my experience, Leaders will provide support and resources to assist in getting you to your next career goal, inside or outside the company - They offer opportunities to pursue a Masters Degree in the state of Colorado once a year - They offer a hybrid schedule for a majority of the positions at Head Quarters - They do have a gym on-site for their employees to use - There are opportunities for growth within the company whether it is at Head Quarters or in one of the Branches - They offer 12 hours of paid Volunteer time

Cons

- Leadership communication skills could use some improvement - They have a mandatory company-wide convention on Indigenous Peoples Day/Columbus Day - They need a specialized team to revamp the training procedures and practices company-wide in order to achieve a higher level of professionalism

Thank you for your feedback; it helps our organization learn and grow. It’s refreshing to hear your perspective from working at our Home Office. We strive to provide learning and development opportunities to our CanFam and appreciate you highlighting a few of our efforts, such as the one-site gym and paid volunteer time. We respect your point of view on leadership communication. While we never strive to be perfect, we can always improve, and we hear you. Our commitment to enhanced leadership skills is demonstrated in our updated Human Side of Leadership program that rolled out this year. We also have a full Learning & Development team dedicated to creating and updating our training procedures and practices along with developing many new valuable development opportunities for our teams. We recognize the importance of continuous improvement and are committed to providing development opportunities for our employees. Regarding our offsite organization-wide event, while we recognize there can be challenges with attending, we feel the time commitment of bringing our entire workforce together is extremely valuable as part of our commitment to teamwork and culture. We encourage you to keep speaking up, and we will always take feedback constructively and look to make the appropriate improvements. Thanks again for your valuable insights!

Pros

The compensation is the only genuinely positive aspect of this position.

Cons

Nonexistent Training: You are set up to fail from the start with a complete lack of proper training and ongoing leadership support. Management Dodges Work: Managers actively avoid doing their jobs. They will outright refuse to take escalation calls, leaving frontline staff to fend for themselves. Unexplained Discipline: Leadership hands out write-ups with absolutely zero explanation or constructive feedback, creating an environment of anxiety and confusion. Toxic Culture: Internal teams openly disrespect one another, creating a completely dysfunctional and frustrating day-to-day dynamic. Customer Frustration: Due to complete lack of hard turn times here members will basically be spam calling you as processing drops the ball constantly, and underwriting can’t make a sound decision to save their lives.
