Pros

Jeans for dress and some holidays off are a perk.

Cons

I worked at this company for over 13 years. I endured the constant excuses for the unrelenting and heavy workload. I believed the pep talks and succumbed to the pleas for extra effort at the end of the year--when the financial reports are finalized. I really have nothing but grief over the whole experience. It seems the whole process of hiring, training (indoctrination on interpreting insurance law), overseeing, controlling salaries, and--dare I say--letting employees go has been perfected. Everyone who works for this company should think twice about what you hear from your superiors, and never ever turn your back or a blind eye to what you see or hear. You will eventually realize there is a whole lot of 1/2 truths mixed with statements that are made. I regret to say that HR offers no real help when issues inevitably arise. If you can, stay away from this company. At the very least, read Glassdoor.com's article on the signs that indicate you are not working for a good company and you might save yourself a lot of grief!

Pros

I worked with several talented people and had positive interactions with multiple business stakeholders. The company has strong brand recognition, meaningful business lines, and some leaders who genuinely value recruiting partnership.

Cons

My experience in Talent Acquisition became increasingly difficult because the management style I experienced felt highly controlling, punitive, and focused more on scrutiny than coaching, workload calibration, or clear success metrics. In my opinion, the environment became one where a manager’s narrative could outweigh production, stakeholder feedback, and the actual complexity of the workload. I raised concerns through internal channels and later experienced increased scrutiny, formal performance action, and ultimately termination with what I viewed as a vague and incomplete explanation. From my perspective, the process lacked fairness, transparency, and meaningful opportunity to address concerns through objective measures. I would caution candidates and employees to pay close attention to the specific leadership chain they would report into, not just the broader company reputation. Advice to Management: Ensure performance concerns are handled with clear metrics, documented coaching, balanced stakeholder input, and genuine review of workload realities. A company’s employment brand is affected not only by candidate experience, but also by how internal employees are treated when they raise concerns.
