Globe Life reviews

The work was pretty dull and repetitive. When I first saw the job description it alluded to me that I would be working with more technologies and tools that I was hoping to work with. Shortly after the job started, I saw that those tools/technologies mentioned described the department as a whole, not my job in particular. I also found a lot more people like me that described the work they were doing was boring and not satisfying at all. If you are just looking for a job and enjoy the life insurance industry, I would say that this may be the company for you. If you're looking to be creative and directly contribute to helping the company succeed, then this is not be the place for you. For those who care about the bottom line: The compensation at this company is low compared to the industry overall. Upon my exit interview, I was told that many people leave because of the pay and the fact that the benefits are too expensive. Changing departments can be tough, especially if you have a manager who doesn't want to let you go because that would mean they have to go through the trouble of finding someone else. Human Resources is particularly slow at their jobs so if you want something done with them, you have to stay on top of them to get it done.

Rampant nepotism within executive circles leads people who are lacking in social skills and education to be promoted beyond their ability. Some of these people will be managing you. Seriously outdated computer infrastructure. (it is hard to use mainframe software that does not have a Graphic Interface. ) *My Story: I stated working at Torchmark in the customer service department answering phones. I was hoping to work hard every day and possibly be recognized by management and move up...considering that I had the requisite academic credentials, and was an efficient and punctual worker. When I was offered a higher up position by a Vice President, who is basically the only person who ever recognized me, I was led to believe that I may get the position but later learned that HR and other "forces" had an unspoken hold on transfers from department to department. No one ever responded to my application even though a Vice President gave it to HR...of course he wasn't related to the owners so...yeah. The really sick part, I wasn't promoted out of my department because I was "too valuable"...obviously not valuable enough to be promoted. After this I realized I would never be promoted and left. When I left I was doing a job that people are now being payed a great deal more for, phone enrollments. People in the Legal Department are extremely rude.
