Pros
NJM loves to recognize and promote talent from within, so shortly after joining the company straight out of college I was selected for a highly competitive technology tract. I spent nine great years as a licensed producer and as a software developer gaining a unique insight into both customer facing and internal, business critical processes. But when presented a unique opportunity in a different field, I made the difficult decision to leave NJM - on the best of terms. I expanded my knowledge and gained technology experience at a far more rapid pace than if I had stayed. But I missed it. I missed the culture, the commitment to the values set forth by a driven leadership team. Strong executive leadership committed to a vision to serve the interests of its policy holders while advancing those of the its greatest resource - its employees. I've thought about that and appreciated how fortunate I am every day since my return. After 13 years away, NJM welcomed me back. So much has changed - I'm impressed particularly by how far NJM has come from a technology standpoint. But that culture and commitment to its employees is stronger than ever. I've been back at NJM for almost a year and without a doubt it's the best career decision I've ever made.
Cons
Being busy is a great thing. Sometimes the balance of attending meetings and having time to act on decisions made in those meetings can prove to be tricky even for the most adept managers of time. NJM is no exception to this common workplace rule.
