      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      Terrific company for those looking for a career and significant growth opportunity. Promotions are based on job performance as opposed to politics and senior level management is very approachable. Managers spend an extraordinary amount of time developing their team members for future positions. Unum stresses a great work-life balance and backs it up by offering a generous amount of vacation time. Unum is a company with high moral values and they truly practice what they preach.

      Cons

      It takes a while to feel as though you are really contributing to the organization as most jobs require time to adjust to.

      Great customer focus and treats employees very well

      Pros

      Unum has a genuine regard for their customers. The customer focused is highlighted throughout the company and is examplified by upper management. Each employee has a developmental plan that is reviewed and encouraged by managers. Unum has a great work environment with strong company values around family.

      Cons

      Because the company is so large, many positions are monotonous. However, there is much opportunity to grow in your career and switch positions which helps mitigate this problem.

      Toxic and stressful - it's all take and no give

      Pros

      If you live in Dorking, it's the prettiest of the out-of-town sites. Most people really are very nice, but that's in stark contrast to the Executive Committee and most of the HR department. I note that this theme has come up in several other reviews - great co-workers, but not great executive management.

      Cons

      Executive Committee and some senior management go on and on about the Unum values - integrity, caring, pride, courage, commitment and accountability, without displaying a shred of any of these traits. It is also a bit worrying how out-of-touch many of the more senior figures are, both technically and in soft skills. They'll tell you very earnestly that black is white and expect you to believe it.
