Pros

The teams, genuinely the best bunch of people I've ever worked with. Benefits are pretty solid.

Cons

Well, where to begin? Everything was wonderful and the growth was encouraging. Lots of promise of career potential and opportunity to learn. That was swiftly and quietly sabotaged by the higher ups who make sure to bad mouth any employee that they don't agree with and it becomes even more uncomfortable due to the fact that they have zero respect and trust for one another as a leadership team. The CEO goes out of his way to intimidate and even threaten people with blacklisting (not to mention, brings up inappropriate topics in meetings). This trickles down through the rest of the C-suite to the teams, poisoning the culture beyond repair. Other reviews talk ad nauseam about innovation, don't believe it! If people don't leave because of the bad work environment, they leave because they're bored and are not challenged. This in and of itself is really a shame, as the team is so bright and deserve better (as well as being the best bunch of people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with). To add further insult to injury, the waves of resignations have come from those who are truly passionate about innovation and all the cultural values that the executive team constantly spout but have never once displayed in practice. Feedback is rare and negative when given, props (ie: promotions) and “kudos” are given to those that mindlessly follow ill-advised directives while the rest are told they “just don’t have the right stuff” or are not “team players”. Insurance may not be a sexy industry but does it have to be a downright cruel one?
