Pros

-Decent pay -Decent hours -Secure -Decent benefits It is everything you would expect from an old life insurance corporation. If you are very risk averse and want to trade fun and excitement for security, work here. If you are a very creative, independent individual, don't even think about applying here.

Cons

-Some bad managers with anger issues -Some too stressed out -Boring, uninspiring work and environment -Old, inflexible culture -HR doesn't trust you I got unlucky with a manager who had anger control problems who made many people on my floor very uncomfortable. The fact that upper management keeps giving people to work with this individual says a lot about the company's culture and values as a whole. Granted, I think this manager will have issues getting promoted but upper management should be able to deal with this better.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
