Pros

Matching 401K up to 6%, decent benefits, soup and salad in cafeteria....whoo hoo!

Cons

Terrible corporate culture, incompetent managers in managing talent....brown nosers will love! Overworked, sense of exasperation pervasive throughout company....Commercial, Personal, Field, Claims. Nepotism, children of independent agents hired frequently and get away with murder, so knowing people in high places will get you farther. Seen some egregious things done by some of these people and never fired. Not a woman, but do not favor women still despite losing lawsuit in past for discrimination. Frequently hire managers in positions who are pathologically poor in relating to people and more suited to generate reports and work with details. Well known to pay lower historically and introduced a new review system designed to curb pay more. Used to be family oriented and now bottom lines is accountability to shareholders. Very evident trying to shed higher priced experienced workers for low priced inexperienced substitutes.

Pros

I love my territory, my direct manager, and my team. I enjoy my coworkers. The lunch stipend is nice. I’ve had a lot of really great mentors during my time. The company had given me some good opportunities including free continuing education and career advancement.

Cons

The pay has been lower than the industry standard. The benefits are decent in the long term, but the raises for those growing within the company are almost insulting. Any attempts to negotiate are shut down. Bonuses have also been on the low end, although I recognize they aren’t a given. Paid time off is also somewhat limited with slow increases every 5 years. Upper management has changed and I don’t feel it’s been positive. There has been low morale and high turnover. Starting pay has remained stagnant despite increased demands of returning to office which I feel contributes to staffing difficulties. Cost of gas, car maintenance, and work attire have now cut into wages. The company felt like it cared about its staff when I started, but I have begun to feel like a cog in the corporate wheel. Corners are being cut in the name of “efficiency,” however the foundational flaws haven’t been addressed.
