Pros

The company talks about all of the new technologies it uses. The CEO talks about artificial intelligence and preparing the workforce. The systems are ancient.

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with what we dealt with on a day to day basis. The CEO seems to focus on what people want to hear, not what is actually going on. Very out of touch. There is no training. The products are all about high commissions. Everybody is afraid to speak up.

Pros

The hours at corporate. The work/life balance. Some decent co-workers.

Cons

For corporate, there are the old timers who keep their processes close to their chest because this is a knowledge is power environment. Newbies to Guardian with years of industry knowledge are the outsiders. Can be a snake pit. Shockingly antiquated systems. Processes are NOT efficient and are almost comical. I have seen age discrimination within HR. Why are those in their 60's targeted for termination? Inept management at most levels.
