Pros

Worked tirelessly and sacrificed so much but with a smile on my face, my passion is insurance and all I wanted was for my team and office to succeed.

Cons

I feared going into the office some days. I was bullied and harassed by employees which made it very difficult for me to get my work done. And although I'm very team oriented, I kept to myself to avoid the constant conflict and unfair office politics that often arose. I've never felt so defeated in my entire insurance career.

Pros

Good starting wage, lots of opportunities to learn

Cons

Leadership is weak and deceptive. There is huge disconnect between management and the service team i.e. half of the service team left due to the same issues. The favoritism is blunt and right in your face. Several weak team members were promoted with little knowledge of the industry and ghastly work ethics. There are also a number of account executives who don't pull their own weight. In short, success here is driven by office politics not performance.

Pros

Relatively flat organization so you don't have tons of decision makers in your way to make process changes. There's a spirit of teamwork amongst the teams.

Cons

HR is abysmal for an organization of this size. Total lack of transparency around job levels and salaries. Opportunities for promotion don't exist. There's a big element of you know (or are related to) in this company. If you're not in the inner circle, then you're just a worker bee. Much worse if you're not a white dude. The workload is insane and the reward for a good job is getting more work to do. You can be a leader with a significantly karge team but have no say in your budget or salary increases for your team. To spend a penny, it has to go to c-level for approval, and those guys are so out of touch with reality. Lastly, they heavily offshore their back office operations, which can work with the right oversight and leadership. Yet they never replace or try and retain onshore talent and think everything can be pushed offshore without any impact to service. It's a trade-off, guys.
