Pros

The best reasons to work at Transamerica are the 401k and pension. However, due to 3 and 4 year vesting periods on the pension and 401k, many people leave before they get vested. Pay can be decent at the start, but the growth levels of your salary will be minimal. If you want to be downtown, the office at 18th and Cali is decent location.

Cons

--Recruiters will lie to get you in the door --Managers will tell you how you should think about everything --Work/life balance is terrible --Extremely high turnover rate --The company is focused on hiring low talent contractors for MANY roles --Promotions, training, career growth all non-existent in the company --Remote policy is inconsistent and arbitrary --Seniority rewarded more than work is --"Company performance" will impact your salary and bonus more than your own, personal performance --Benefits vesting periods used to hold employees hostage for 4 years

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
