Pros

There was lots of opportunities for personal improvement with plenty of work to be done

Cons

Management/Non operations departments do not recognize operations employees as potential hires. Prefer to hire from outside and not promote from within.

Pros

Decent salary Good benefits Encourages personal health without being overbearing Provides services and benefits, such as fitness area, with little to no cost to employees

Cons

Once the "culture" veil is lifted, you get a reality check. The company boasts being one of the best in the country for employee engagement and happiness, yet will allow manipulative managers who use bullying tactics on their employees. When this behavior is called out, Vermont's at-will employment law is put to good use on the employees (this was seen across all departments).

Pros

This could be a great Company. It's size is an advantage in that it is numble and could adapt to a changing marketplace. The problem is that the CEO is spinning a tale with the goal (in reality) of enriching himself. Period. It is a very real problem at National Life.

Cons

I agree with many who have stated that the Company lacks any real strategy or direction. Do Good, Be Good, Make Good is a meaningless sound byte. This "great culture" that people alude to is so shallow. Management get shuffled around based upon whether you are in good stead with the CEO. So everyone spends all their time and energy maintaining what is quite frankly an illusion. These problems are very easy to see because they are so prevalent. It's just that many are playing a game of protecting themselves at the expense of the long term good of the Company.
