Pros

Federated Insurance is a well known company throughout Owatonna, MN and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, the HR department does not seem to see value in working experience, and instead places a disproportionate amount of value on new graduates with sporting backgrounds. This may create a "fun" environment with a certain "image", but it does not elevate the working environment - especially in terms of growth or collaboration. The best way to facilitate department development is to enable all members, including the experienced, to be challenged . Hoping they will see more value in work ethic in the future.

Pros

Hands down, the best employment culture of any company I’ve worked for in my 25+ years practicing law. Federated is a true rarity - a company that genuinely lives its corporate values every day, in decisions both large and small. Leadership listens to employees with curiosity and a willingness to improve, not defensiveness or indifference. There’s a common refrain that if a company takes care of its employees, those employees will, in turn, take care of customers. I’ve never seen that philosophy embraced or executed as successfully as it is at Federated. Success is recognized and rewarded, teamwork - or “interdependence,” as we call it - is the norm, and challenges or setbacks are treated as opportunities for constructive feedback and growth. And that’s before even mentioning the outstanding compensation and benefits. I recommend Federated wholeheartedly and without reservation to friends and family.

Cons

Business formal dress code for more senior positions may be a bit antiquated.
