Pros

PTO and benefits are good, not much else to compliment

Cons

Since the new CIO has joined Unum, the information technology workers have systematically been laid off and replaced by H1B workers from India. There are likely more H1B and offshore workers in information technology than there are citizen workers. There is essentially NO career potential for an American citizen IT worker. While Unum is dedicated to diversity and inclusion, there is a noticeable lack of diversity in hiring of the highest levels of IT management. The CIO, being from India, has predominantly filled most Sr level management positions with friends from former employers. It would appear there is a prejudice against American citizen IT workers.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
