Decent pay overshadowed by blame culture and bullying
Pros
Decent salary and the annual bonus is good. Took a supportive approach to remote working and return to office post-Covid. Lots of opportunities if you are a graduate trainee or come from a farming background.
Cons
Probably the most unusual insurance company I have ever worked for. Sales agents rule the roost and underwriting is a secondary consideration, you will find that any decision you make will get escalated through the various levels of seniority within sales until one of them gets the eventual answer that they want. Lots of kicking and screaming takes place along the way. Some of the interactions you can have with so called colleagues are tanamount to bullying and HR not interested in taking any action. Especially true if this relates to their self employed sales network. Definitely a blame culture as once, when requesting support with my workspace at home, was sent a response via the legal team as if I were trying to feign injury. Training drops off once you reach a certain level although they are not alone in this.
