Pros

Your performance is the key to your profitability with this company. From the onset, employees are given the training and tools necessary to create their own success. Qualifying Sales Reps are rewarded handsomely with bonuses including week-long Corporate Annual Sales Conferences, salary bonuses, and other performance based incentive programs. Reps are expected to, and their performance is accessed based on their meeting the sales goals prescribed to them by their Office Manager.

Cons

The shortcomings are few, but noteworthy. While Unum often promotes from within, the ceiling for most employees will be Sales Rep, and for numbered few per office, Senior Account Executive. Management positions are in short supply.

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.
