Pros

Competitive starting salary, good benefits & vacation time, company holidays are generous. Can purchase additional PTO which can be used or cashed in in December right before the holidays, standard industry employee discounts available, some work from home options.

Cons

Unreasonable workload in the injury claim department with no processors, in addition to metrics that are really only attainable if you have a reasonable file count. Over time this resulted in most of my peers either resigning, going on leave or being placed on a performance plan causing major deficits in staffing with no consideration or recourse for current employees who were actually attempting to be successful. Diversity and inclusion felt more like a box to be checked vs being a true concern of the company. Unclear plans for the office reopening with an ‘open design plan’ during COVID. Nepotism was rampant, work product not as important as who you’re friendly with or if your manager liked you aside from work product. Bonus and pay structure are completely unclear.

Pros

We receive continuous training to stay up to date with new state regulations and market trends. My colleagues make the day go by quickly. The benefits are very reasonable. There is room for career growth if you know how to network. I appreciate their consistent push for community volunteer opportunities.

Cons

The personal lines department seems to be falling apart right now. Issues with the internal systems are resulting in underwriters doing multiple jobs and becoming a dumping ground for all agent issues even if they aren't underwriting related. I don't feel that the directors are truly expressing to the senior leadership team the impact that all these issues are having on the mental health and quality of life for the employees that are on the front lines trying to maintain a good reputation for the company. It's sad to see how quickly this department has gone downhill and the amount of quality underwriters that are jumping ship for different departments or different companies all together. What's even sadder it that no one with authority seems to care, or listen, when concerns are brought forth. I truly advise anyone considering applying for any position within the personal insurance department to hold off until things start to change - it's not worth the mental anguish that you'll experience.
