Better than Most

Pros

Co-workers are supportive and great to work with. They provide OJT and will pay for continued education as long as it fits their criteria. Pay and benefits are better than most. Most of the employees have been here for a very long time which is recognized by the company. The company has an employee appreciation week and numerous events throughout the year to acknowledge employees. They allow for flex-time work hours, as long as it is approved by managers.

Cons

Management has a top down mentality. They are making noises to change this, but I have not seen anything that has worked thus far. Pay scales lock one into the pay range and they do not allow for flexibility in this area. Difficult to get a promotion, even with further education.

Pros

Good pay, great insurance, great PTO, great company car, good bonus program, good rapport among co-workers. Upper management was good in communicating the direction that they wanted to go with the rank and file employees. Overall with a few changes that could be made UFG is a solid company to work for.

Cons

Work load in my department was on the very high side compared to previous employers. At the time I was employed there my departmental management was VERY micromanagement. In my department the procedures were very outdated and cumbersome.

A great place to work

Pros

For an "old school" industry, I was pleasantly surprised to find UFG offers flexible schedules and modern office spaces. The pay and benefits are great and I enjoy working for a stable company that's been around for years. The CEO and other top-level leadership team seem very approachable and concerned about offering employees a great culture and making sure UFG is a good place to work. They are the first to say "hello" in the elevator and ask how you are. For a company this size, it's a wonderful feeling, especially as a new employee. I am most excited about the growth opportunities as we continue to expand. It feels like the sky's the limit at UFG.

Cons

Traditional company dress code means jeans only on Fridays. Parking downtown can get expensive, but UFG does offer some money toward that. It appears there is some micromanagement in a few departments, but that seems dependent on the manager and unfortunately comes across as a lack of trust. The most frustrating thing is that some long-time employees see new employees as wanting to rock the boat and prefer to stick to how they've always done things. A few can be downright rude when a new employee is simply asking questions about the how and why of processes..
