Pros

The benefits the company provides are next-to unbeatable. The company goes to great expense to offer their employees some of the best options. Some of the benefits include: On-site locker rooms & exercise facility Excellent health, dental, and vision insurance at relatively low-cost to employees Free STD & LTD insurance $50k GTL for employees Free parking VERY generous PTO policy (4 weeks, starting out) High focus on work-life balance with opportunities for WAH (Work at home) corporate policy to match employee gifts to non-profit charities Strong focus on recycling (each cube has its own recycling bin) Open-Door policy is strongly encouraged, complete with a 3rd-party hotline for reporting questionable treatment and/or behavior Professional Keurig machines in each breakroom Flexible work hours (depending on which department you're in) Well-established and functional performance measurement tools Each year the company sends approximately 300 of their top-performing employees to Disney World for free Great incentive program (employees can recommend rewards for fellow employees for great work and/or teamwork) Strong emphasis on team-work (to the point that sometimes, interaction with your teammates ranks at or above on your performance review than your actual work quality) Strong encouragement to develop yourself, both professionally and personally

Cons

Career path can sometimes be difficult for advancement Likes to re-organize Layoffs every couple years

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
