Great American Insurance Group reviews

Transparency can sometimes be an issue Project time lines, although getting better with ITIL can be ambiguous Also getting better; but priority and focus change rapidly and can be overwhelming Old review process is cumbersome

The longer I was with the company, the lower the pay increases and incentives to stay. After the national health care act was passed, the company consolidated its three-tier insurance program into one high-deductible plan that cost even more than before for less benefit. Promotions only came as positions opened up, and were based on seniority instead of merit. There were a lot of people in my own group and others that got away with doing absolutely no work at all which was also frustrating. The company announces record profits every year, but continues to give fewer and fewer bonuses and raises. Even the Christmas party (the company is openly Christian in nature) has been scaled back year after year. I received more money to part with my consulting firm and join full time than I did in the following four years of raises altogether (which wasn't even much). I was not the first person in my group to leave, and the general idea was that none of us wanted to leave, but were forced out eventually because our loyalty was not being acknowledged or rewarded in any way. This used to be a good company that I loved working for, and I ended up leaving with a bad taste in my mouth. Also, the dress code is not casual as some have stated above. It is business casual and there are no casual Fridays. The only jeans days they allow are paid to a charity and the admins will go around checking to make sure you paid.
