Pros

The best part about my job is that I am smart and take care of my business, so unless I start slacking, I pretty much work unsupervised. I am, IMHO, one of the best associates there; I rarely not do what was asked of me unless I have a reason to support me not doing it. This helps me gain more respect from the managers than a typical associate.

Cons

The hours our horrible, benefits and time off are also bad. Poor recognition of good work. I have been there almost 5 years without one employee of the month recognition. No time off, other than your 2 days off, will be approved during Nov 1 and Jan 15th due to the holiday season.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
