Pros

Great PTO package, fair salary, great add'l benefit offerings (eg, long term care, life, ad&d, etc). Worth noting that for an insurance company, the work feels more noble than others - Unum's products are literally there to help when people are facing tough situations. It's helpful to be aligned with a worthy cause for those times when typical work challenges get you down.

Cons

Rampant ageism. It's increasingly clear that only executives get to retire on their own time - others are "job eliminated." Regular restructuring results in many position cuts, even top performers - no job is safe anymore.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
