Always afraid your layoff is coming

Pros

Good benefits. 4% 401K Match + 5 % in Defined Contribution Plan. Good vacation time.

Cons

Always going through layoffs. The company has a recurring habit of moving whole divisions across the country, sitting for few years and doing it again. They go through reorg after reorg that is dependent on the current manager of the month. Have worked for them a decade in 3 divisions, and have never been in a place where there wasn't the threat of the division moving or the site closing under a multi year reorg plan. They finish one plan, and then launch another. The recurring joke among staff is "waiting for my package".

Pros

Employees were very personable...surroundings comfortable...

Cons

Sale of products to people who were uneducated or unable to maintain payments. Prospect search and description of offering to prospective customer was totally deceptive...in my opinion.

A strong company with decent compensation but high turnover.

Pros

Pension plan 401k Match Decent Commissions Strong Products Financially Sound Company Great Benefits Flexibility and Autonomy in work hours and business practices Encourages an entrepreneurial spirit in its employees Great bonus package Ability to move into management

Cons

The problem I have with insurance companies is that they hire 100 people and know that only 1 or 2 will remain with the company longer than 4 years. The turnover is incredible, which is what they want. They want new employees to sign up friends and family and then leave, so they don't have to pay trailing commissions and residuals. Failure is almost expected within the industry, and those that succeed are few and far between, and only then do they truly gain respect and only then will the company give them some resources to enhance their career. I understand the rationale behind this business model, but is at times frustrating.
