Pros

Product line is primarily fixed annuities with some variable annuity and life products. Not a growth company but an established and successful revenue generator for parent company. Smaller size company. Liveliest areas to work are product and distribution. Executive team is very personable, trustworthy and capable. Very well-liked CEO demonstrates integrity and respect. Open communication via employee meetings. Executive team truly appreciates and values employees and it shows. Excellent employee recognition. Community service valued and supported.

Cons

Strategic vision, leadership skills and ability to drive innovation/change are lacking in leaders below executive level, at least in some pockets. It can take years to effect changes that are common best practices externally. Too much time spent on processes that add little or no value. Technology lags but working to improve.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
