Pros

• Pay and benefits are reasonable compared to local market. • Some coworkers were supportive and professional.

Cons

• Direct management in the VB Metrics and Reporting was abusive, retaliatory, and manipulative — creating a hostile environment marked by gaslighting, sabotage, and dishonesty. • The manager lacked the professional qualifications of her own team (only a high school diploma, while many of us had bachelor’s or master’s degrees), yet consistently undermined and threw employees under the bus to protect her position. • Speaking up or requesting resources often led to retaliation; innovation was discouraged despite constant claims of “forward thinking.” • Leadership and HR consistently protected toxic managers rather than supporting employees, leaving staff vulnerable. • Training and career development were obstructed, and performance was misrepresented to fit management’s agenda. • The company hides a toxic, fear-based culture behind flashy marketing about how “great” it is to work there.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
