Pros

Truly enjoyed traveling throughout the United States performing industrial hygiene surveys for our insured clients. Enjoyed working with the loss control consultants and industrial hygiene professionals maintained a positive attitude despite the pressure placed on them.

Cons

Manager required reluctant lost control consultants to perform industrial hygiene activities. Credentialed safety professional manager unethically forced 3 CIH s to sign off on loss consultant's work where CIHs had NO authority to require industry-acceptable Industrial hygiene recommendations or direct supervisory guidance at work location. Company provided no avenue for workers to appeal manager's direction considered inappropriate. Manager disregarded recommendations for improvements stifling creativity by workers. Manager deceitful in appeal to professional credentialing organization in securing support of unethical practice.

Thank you for your input. Like most IT organizations we are constantly working to deliver quality business solutions on an ambitious timeline. Many factors go into determining target release dates, and ideally those estimates are driven by the team responsible for the work. I would like to hear more about where you think the process is breaking down and how it could be improved, so please schedule some time with me to discuss. Dan Wuest VP IT – Commercial Lines

Pros

Great 401k match and depending on what area you work in, some good managers who really care about their teams.

Cons

In the Corporate Marketing area, there is a lack of direction and an emphasis on having a positive attitude -- although management fails to lead by example. High turnover in this area. Make changes or watch for more employees leaving to find greener pastures.
