Pros

What was said during interview but it turns out to be untrue. Some prospective employers tend to embellish to some extent but this company's senior management makes promises that turn out to be completely untrue, and encourages their staff to do the same because they have difficulty attracting talent either in Indiana or outside of the state

Cons

Run like an insurance company in 70's or 80's. Very old fashioned mindset, extremely hierarchical, almost everyone passes the buck, and much backstabbing goes on because upper management does not take responsibility but prefers to point the finger at middle management. For this reason, people are afraid to act and atmosphere is very negative. They keep mentioning fairly recent acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway but it is not run like a BH company but like General Electric used to run this company. The current senior management is primarily GE folks, including the CEO. So expect the same rigidity, less than ethical competition (business acquisition by hiring competition's high performing employees), and inefficient methods. Some employees can be disgruntled at any company, however, MedPro has a much higher share, especially since the company has a captive market in Ft Wayne, Indiana where employees have very few choices in commercial insurance. Medical Protective uses this to their advantage to treat their employees much les fairly than the rest of the industry. The company may offer good experience for someone starting a career but employees in higher positions are regularly treated like children, given no initiative, and subject to work methods that have no connection with reality (senior management's favorite mantra is 'that's the way we have always done it'). Day to day environment is threatening, with no team work as a result of management's negative pressures.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Generous expense policy when traveling for work. Company-level onboarding process is solid.

Cons

Organization is really flat, which can be good, but also means there aren't lots of middle-management opportunities...at least the areas I was familiar with. No onboarding plan for my role. My boss frequently missed or moved our 1-on-1 meetings and never bothered to teach me anything, despite me being new to the MedMal industry and new to the company. I asked questions when I had them, but you don't know what you don't know. Most of our monthly 1-on-1 meetings were 15 minutes or less, when they happened. Manager was, in general, distant and cold. I mentioned that they missed my birthday and they said "I don't even know when your birthday is...HR doesn't tell me that. I'd have to look that up." Never seemed to try to understand my ideas when I explained them. Maybe it's a Midwest thing. My manager fired me without any warning/write-up/performance plan. Manager told HR that I had been warned about poor performance, coached on it, and hadn't improved. None of that was true and no documentation was presented (because it didn't exist). HR played along. They like to use Buffett's quotes about integrity, but I can't really say that they walk the talk.
