Pros

Great benefits, great work life family balance, no micro-management. Perks were fun, such as trips for top performers and a 401k match that is generous. Quick underwriting turnaround times.

Cons

Poor underwriting support, poor management support to get things 'done'. Agents usually lose in competitive situations due to the inflexibility of Euler to 'match the deal'. Management does not properly recognize top performers, and yes, it is the only job I have ever had that the more I sold, the less I made...(still cant figure that out.) Agent comp plan has changed, but the marketplace is very competitive and if you are not a top performer here, you will sink fast with very little management support. My experience was many clients did not renew due to poor claims and underwriting support. This makes it tough to make a living each year as you lose as many as you gain.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
