Approves of CEO
I have been working at Admiral Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
-Employee Share Scheme/Dividends
-Fresh Fruit Daily
-Lots of vacation time + accrued time
Cons
-Incredibly disparate incentive structure purportedly based on how difficult a given employee's skillset is. The difference in incentive caps are *not* proportional.
-Significant cutbacks to medical/extended health benefits as of August 1, 2016 with only a few weeks' notice but higher premiums
-Major lack of flexibility with regards to scheduling and allowances for vacation/accrued time
-A significant amount of... middle-managment apathy getting blamed on staff by upper management
-Advancement is *very* nepotistic. Emphasis on sycophants over skilled candidates.
-Salaries are not competitive, changes to payscale do not reflect inflation
-6am Weekend shifts - for some of us this means getting up as early as 4:00am for a job which is normally 8:30-5.

Advice to Management
Wake up. You're pushing your best and brightest out the door. Senior Management/Operations need to stop turning a blind eye to the garbage performance of middle management.
