Pros

Like work from home option. Love working with our wonderful medical department. Like working with most of the field force and case managers.

Cons

I have never worked somewhere where I have been so micromanaged. Only care about the numbers. Person in charge of uw department has no uw experience and no respect for underwriters. New systems implemented way before they are ready and customer service means nothing. Takes an act of God to get a promotion or a raise. Systems very unreliable. Outsourcing of clerical work has made a total mess of every single file they touch!

Pros

Positions here are core to the company's operations and not overhead to be cut. Company has been doing well.

Cons

Glassdoor has out-of-date information. This subsidiary was spun off from AIG over a year ago. A staff reduction plan was put in place that employees can volunteer for. They are looking for highly-paid long-timers to take the package and reduce the run rate of expenses.
