Pros
Can learn a lot about the insurance industry at UNUM, fellow employees are supportive of other employees, even when they have their own heavy work loads.
Cons
UNUM drops on its ranking on the best places to work in Maine each year. UNUM for many years remained in the first or second place as best places to work for large companies in Maine, but has experienced a steady slide downwards on the list and now struggles to remain one the list. I spoke to HR at UNUM about this and they acknowledge that UNUM is struggling and is trying to manage its reviews the best it can. UNUM , like many big companies now, asks employees to manage very heavy volumes of work especially for the service areas and disability benefit payers. I have worked at UNUM for many years, and in my opinion, it is not as desirable a place to work as it was. Stress is a serious issue among the employees, but upper management, in my opinion is more interested in getting the highest production numbers it can from each employees, and hopes its employees will remain off stress disability.
