National General Insurance reviews

The work itself, handling claims, can be very stressful. You have to have a thick skin and be able to not let customers effect you.

Management and human resournces are dishonest with respect to bonuses, terminations, hirings and ability to advance within the organization. An employee is only a percentage point on budget spreadsheet and will be terminated if reducing the bottom line makes the vice president look good. Typically this results in increased workload for employees but management will say nothing because they are scared for their jobs. Management is directed to have poker face when dealing with employee concerns and evaluations. All of management looks over their respective shoulders on a daily basis and may say they have employees backs but when push comes to shove they only look to keep their head off the chopping block. The chopping block is very frequent within this company and the reasons surrounding terminations are mere lip service to the masses. If you sat down and had an "honest" conversation with managers they will tell you what a screwed up place the organization is and how much they dislike their jobs and people within the company. You will be promised the world by the recruiters and managers at this place but once you are in the door you will see the dysfunction, frustration and tears that run rampant. If you are considering working at this company, I suggest you ask to sit with people during the normal course of business and see how stressed and displeased they are with the day to day work. Make sure that the person you are interviewing with is actually going to be your manager and ask how many people received a bonus and if not, what was the reason. You will see that this company sells you as much as you need to sell yourself and I would argue they sell you the job if you have any type of credentials. The processes and procedures change on a daily basis and employees are held accountable to the moving target. This is not to say one should not be flexible to the everchanging work landscape that occurs in 2014 but accountability and evaluations should take that into consideration, which they do not. All in all the company is bad and the poor reputation it has is well deserved. It is amazing who gets promoted at this company and how much turnover there is.
