Pros

Benefits, Tuition Reimbursement, Company History, used to be the people you work with but so many are gone and everyone else is looking for another job or leaving/left.

Cons

Management. Major layoff yearly, this year a third was let go suddenly, severe apparent money problems, out of touch executive team, cold and toxic environment, morale is at an all time low and they don’t care, they don’t care about their people. Extremely hypocritical- they say they value their people most but their actions reflect they love their executive team most! They micromanage, they disrespect, they treat their employees like children, they stopped promoting from within, they are running this place into the ground with the CEO taking an obviously more hands off approach and Ms. Branson taking over and running things into the ground. Crying shame. Met all my adult long time friends here and used to be low turnover, happy family environment but not anymore. Cold and toxic. No ones job or career is safe. RUN!

Pros

For the most part the employees here are good to work with, with some notable exceptions. Seibels also pays somewhat above average for the area and the benefits are decent.

Cons

Seibels has become a toxic work place. Ten years ago the employees mattered. Now the recently renovated building is more important the the occupants of the building. Most of the perks of working there are gone and only the headaches remain. Seibels will likely be out of business within five years. They are having a real brain drain, with all of their key employees leaving. In recent history they've had 4 CIOs and 3 CEOs. They can't keep a director of the Project Management department and the company is without a software architect, having run off or fired three of them in the last year or so. Consequently all projects are constantly missing deadlines and the teams lack direction. The current CEO (the company owner) doesn't understand his business domain. He is famous for saying "I don't know insurance or technology but I hire people who do." I would add to that "But I won't listen to their advice." That is why the company is in the shape it is in.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We value the opinions of our team members. We carefully assemble leaders who will drive our mission while honoring our core values. You are correct that we are interested in investing in our building because it is the hub of our operations and a landmark building in Columbia, SC. We give our team members the best workplace environment possible. It is never our intention for team members to feel like the building is more important than them; it is unfortunate you feel this way. Investing in our historical building is one way leadership demonstrated its investment in the company’s short and long-term success. We also recently invested in our technology portfolio to provide our clients and team members with the best systems in the marketplace. This future-proofing effort is another example of our commitment to the company’s success. We serve our customers and their policyholders, and we do that in the best way possible. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
