Pros

Supportive co-workers. Emphasis on continuing education. Workload is not too bad. I get to leave my work at work.

Cons

Seems the micromanaging is becoming worse and worse. Pay is not that great. Promotions are rare. Products are behind compared to what competitors do. Huge differences among branches, doesn't seem like the same company.

Pros

Very good benefits package, including a defined benefit pension plan that is very rewarding for employees with 25+ years of experience. Flexible working hours, pleasant culture.

Cons

Turnover is very low, lots of long-term employees, which means that career advancement opportunities are limited.

Pros

You will not have to work overtime

Cons

I was let go in 2010. Run.....Please!! Do not come to work for UFG and think that you will be successful. Average size account is only $2000. If you seek challenge, innovation, creativity, and independence, this is not the place for you! Underwriting manager and branch manager have no marketing skills and are highly unprofessional, therefore you won't have support to write business. They are highly insecure, so they will micro-manage you to the MAX! Severe conservative underwriting guidelines and misconstrued insurance philosophies have large agencies canceling their contracts. Ease of doing business is on the bottom of the totem pole. Management will have no problem belittling you and treating you like dirt. If they do not like you, they will bully you into leaving the company or making mistakes so they can fire you. They have no problem embelishing or lying to get their way, and do not care about you personally or if they ruin your reputation in the insurance industry. In the last several years, 12 people have either been fired, or forced to retire out of only 25 employees. That number is growing. Branch manager is H/R rep, and you will have no recourse.
