Grange Insurance Association Reviews

The upper level of management sees themselves as an exclusive club, and is often described as 'a boys club'. They are not in tune to what is going on with in the rest of the company. This company gives too much credit to employees who have been there for 20+ years and often promotes, the limited times there's opportunity to promote, based on length of time there instead of actual skill level. They talk a lot and make lots of promises but none of them are followed thru on. Pay is definitely below industry standards. Virtually no room for growth. Technology is just pitiful. This company is so far behind it might as well still be the 1980's there. CEO walks around waving and smiling like a politician. He acts incredibly friendly but then over reacts to the smallest things, and when he over reacts he is a jerk about it. The IT department needs to be cleared out and start from scratch....but perhaps this should start with the CEO since most likely the lack of advancement is because of him.

Pay is modest. Paid time off is modest. Healthcare choice is limited to Group Health. IT department is a nightmare of technical incompetence and man's inhumanity to man. The immediate manager can’t stand up to his direct reports, so it’s managed by the Lord of the Flies. He weasels from cube to cube gossiping about direct report A to direct report B, and vice versa in the next cube (...not quietly enough). Divisiveness is pervasive. No concept of team-building, or everyone being on the same side. The software delivered costs probably 5 times what it should, due to disorganization and low competence. An entrenched culture I don’t see changing till the manager is replaced with strong, fair, and technically knowledgeable leadership, and the group culture has time to some recover
