Pros

The pension plan and profit sharing are the pros.

Cons

Was hired under the understanding that I would be working from home 3 days a week. Tuesday was the “all in” day and you picked the second day when to come in. Get an email today saying we are moving to working in the office 3 days a week and Tuesdays and Wednesday are now mandatory days. I left a good job because throughout the entire hiring process I was told it was work from home 3 days a week and that just got stripped from me. This place is not upfront in the hiring process. The work load is so high that my stress levels are through the roof and I constantly feel like I’m drowning. The insurance premiums are outrageous, (around $1200 a month for the low deductible family plan.). Constantly regret coming to this company. Will begin to look at my options for leaving.

Pros

Flex scheduling, which started the last few years. The "said" work hours sound good. Benefits are pretty good. Nearby a lot of good restaurants.

Cons

Micro managing. Hire un-experienced supervisors and managers. You see inferiors train some of the superiors. Like many places it is who you know, not what you know. You can work to get designations, education, work late hours, etc, however if they do not like you, you will not get promoted. Underpaid compared to the market. One person in HR department at the region. She says one thing, but does another. They are not an equal opportunity employer. If you are related or friends with an agent or one of the higher up's you are guaranteed to be promoted or start at a higher position. If you are a minority you also have a high chance of moving up. The good work hours real you in, but you have enough work for two or three, therefore to stay a float you will work probably 50 hours on an average week. If you are dumb enough to work over time in attempts to do a good job, it goes un noticed. The desk are at least 60 years old. Very little room for growth especially if you are not liked.

4.1 NOT TRUE!

Pros

Co workers, PTO, nothing else.

Cons

The company claims to value integrity, but their actions don’t reflect it. The pay ranges are misleading; senior positions can end up earning significantly less than mid-level roles, even if they were hired around the same time, which makes no sense. When hiring, they promised a hybrid work setup with two days in the office at a location of our choice, but later denied ever making that commitment. Some members of management have been with the company for so long that they’re out of touch with current market standards and set salaries based on outdated beliefs rather than competitive benchmarks. Insurance premiums are extremely high, costing a significant portion of your paycheck. Combined with lower salaries and misleading promises, this further reduces your overall compensation. There are no bonuses at all, and some leaders overwork employees while offering inadequate pay. The only positive aspect is the PTO. Stay away from this company. The 4.1 rating is misleading.
