Pros

Good people in the main. Training pretty good. Office environments Ok . Products fundamentally very good with reasonably good underwriting .

Cons

I worked in sales , management were truly shocking mostly being failed ex sales people with no people skills , this was certainly true of the midlands , not sure about other regions. Commercial management were uncommunicative , made knee -jerk reaction decisions and sometimes would make announcements to the whole company then retract them .The weekly reports were in 3 different formats to three different people, but all showing the same info . You needed at least one day a week just to complete management info. When I worked there my nearest territory was 2 hours away , with the furthest being 5 hours away , so driving at least 5,000 miles a month. I can honestly say it was the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. Although I don't regret working there it made me very appreciative of what I do now. Very high turnover of staff in the sales roles which says it all. Salary's are not particularly good and are below market average. Commission ok but on a sliding scale so hits you hard if you have a bad month.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
