Pros

Enthusiastic and genuine cross-enterprise teams who embraced new approaches. There had been a brief time in 2012/2013 where there appeared to be a solid leadership in place, but dissipated with the departure of key individuals.

Cons

Lack of cohesive strategy across business channels. Product strategy is inconsistent, particularly the Life Division. Corporate Marketing leadership is unsophisticated and not aligned to strategy.

Pros

Coworkers are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Management is severely lacking in day to day job functions of their staff, they target anyone they do not like regardless of that person’s job performance. Managers are out of touch with what their staff is doing and they pick favorites. HR supports this behavior and will railroad you right out the door while destroying your mental health. Senior HR members see nothing wrong with targeting staff members based on who they “like”, and they lie to your face when you challenge it. Working 12+ hour days is necessary to keep up with the workload they put on you.
