Affirmative Insurance

Is this your company?

A gamble that likely will not be worth it should you be offered a position here. - Underwriter Affirmative Insurance Employee Review

Pros

Nothing. Absolutely nothing that I can think of. As others have mentioned, if you have some sort of side business or you're writing a book or something, this could be a place for you, for a while at least.

Cons

It's a crapshoot as to how long they'll survive. I'm surprised they're still around tbh. Churn, distrust, staff turnover, gossip, revolving door of execs, poor compensation, poor benefits, no one stays beyond 2 or 3 years - which tells it all really. Share price also good indicator as to where this company is headed. Recruiters & Snr Management will spin it as "a start-up mentality" but basically they all seemed to be playing and thinking they're one of the big boys when, as you'll probably know by now if you've done your research, they're a lame duck gasping for air. Persisting with the direct mail marketing and bricks 'n mortar agencies distribution model shows they are stuck in the 1990s. The people who interview you will likely be gone by the time you accept the position. Avoid at all costs!

Pros

The team members were great, for the most part -- the ones that weren't were generally weeded out without too much effort; Management was flexible and understanding at times; Casual attire; Full hour lunch breaks; Benefits: FSAs, health plans, STD & LTD. In my role, there were a vast variety of job duties/cross-training. If you're willing to learn and take on extra roles, you manage to acquire SOME job security.

Cons

That security I mentioned? It's more artificial when it comes down to it. They just let you FEEL indispensable. Reality is, they will find a replacement and not think twice should it come to that. If you aren't buddy-buddy with your supervisor, you're in a dangerous position. If you challenge your boss, get mouthy or they just flat out dislike you, your days are numbered. So it pays to play nice with the boss.
