This is no longer a company you want to work for - Systems Analyst American National Insurance Employee Review

American National was recently purchased by Brookfield and it has been going downhill past. Let's run through the big points: - Return to office is the big one. Many of us were told productivity at home exceeded all expectations, and after a period of time we were promised a hybrid schedule would be permanent. Not perfect but a compromise many could accept. Literally two weeks later they want back on their word and sent us back in full time giving no legitimate reason. Typical corporate rhetoric like "culture" was used to justify it. Well the culture is now all your employees are miserable. Fantastic job. - On top of all this they are adamant that we do more with less (literally said this) to increase profits. We are underpaid in the industry now and no raises are coming. Basically they are trying to sell us the trickle down effect here. Help us now and we will do right by you later. However, that requires trust which your employees no longer have in you. - For employee appreciation day they literally sent a snow cone truck at the end of September even to their NY based offices, which was obviously absurd. On top of all that they hyped it up all week like something positive for finally coming. Literally do nothing would have been better. - They recently announced the 2024 benefit package and across the board it is a significant step down. Once again, they tried to hype it because they added a "free" tier which is absolutely horrendous and is nothing more then catastrophe insurance. If employees want coverage similar to what we had that actually allows us to be proactive about our health- then the price has risen dramatically and even then is still worse then what we had. The cherry on the cake is that seasoned employees are leaving because many of the reasons listed above. They will literally let a quality employee walk because they refuse to offer WFH, and then will turn around and post their job offering remote work as a benefit. Stating that remote is not ideal but if they need to offer it to fill holes they will. I think we can all see there is no logic behind that.
