The Cincinnati Insurance Company

Is this your company?

Can be a good environment to work in, but low pay and losing good people hurts. - Former Commercial Lines Underwriter The Cincinnati Insurance Company Employee Review

Pros

I had an excellent group of team members and a great boss. The benefits package is good and the 401K match is better than other companies that I know of. Company will pay for designations and gives you money for completing them. Job stability seems to be top notch. Comprehensive training program (makes this a good place to start off).

Cons

Office culture and level of technology are both an odd mix of being outdated and slowly improving. Workload can be overbearing depending on your territory. Pay is far below the industry standard (its the main reason I left). Hiring is being ramped up, but years of not having new underwriting classes coming in has caused a shortage. This is compounded by new and seasoned associates finding jobs elsewhere. Morale just isn't very good. Enjoyable co-workers help, but everyone still talks about people leaving, etc. Most people that stay have established families with kids and they most likely grew up in Cincinnati as well.

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.
