Pros

Absolutely zero pros. Do not work here no matter how bad you need a job. Let this company drown. This company is everything that's wrong with corporate.

Cons

Corporate hazing-You will have to drive to Minnesota three times in your first year for pointless training that can be done via Teams. Horrible Managers and no training. You will essentially be a customer service rep, rental agent, estimator, assess bodily injuries, investigate claims, argue with morons. This job pays $60,000 less than it should. Do not work for these people. There is office politics, office drama, office misconduct, office discrimination in all forms. This company can't keep employees past 2 years. This position is absolutely putrid and they are desperate for drones that they can chew up and spit out. They will sell you on the benefits but there are only four paid holidays per year. Mandatory corporate meetings that are pointless. Outdated system and regimented micromanagement. Do not work for this company if you value your sanity. You will be given a laptop there are no off days. As I said the benefits are putrid.

You Must Drink The Kool-Aid

Pros

Top notch MDT training program in Owatonna, MN. If you go through their training program, you will have enough industry knowledge to be successful anywhere.

Cons

Company culture is very much like a cult. You’re not allowed to think critically or make recommendations that can help the company. Very behind the times with with technology. They will always tell you “this is the way it’s always been done”. If you’re under the age of 35 it will feel very frustrated with their systems. It feels like working for a company stuck in the 90s. You’re entire job as a marketing rep is to win arbitrary competitions and sell overpriced life insurance. It leads to managers pushing you to make unethical decisions.

Pros

*Management is full of themselves and think they do no wrong. They cancelled a big employee meeting due to Covid but are still promoting a huge company wide party in the fall where people get plastered. Everyone knows it’s because they don’t want to answer work from home questions. *No work from home *Living in town is a penalty and you’re ALWAYS expected at the office *very cult-like *The newer generation of management is people who lived life “right” and looks down on anyone from a different background - this alone is going to cause the company to crash and burn *”If Federated cared about anyone here, we wouldn’t be in the office” direct quote from a manager *No consistency in Covid protocols and have stopped listening to the CDC now that it doesn’t fit their agenda *Plan to be blacklisted and never find another internal position if you are vocal about your disagreements with management * Very conservative * Gave us casual Fridays to try and stop the amount of people leaving the company. Was told by manager we HAVE to wear jeans to make senior leadership happy

Cons

See above cons outweigh any positives by miles
