Pros

Top notch MDT training program in Owatonna, MN. If you go through their training program, you will have enough industry knowledge to be successful anywhere.

Cons

Company culture is very much like a cult. You’re not allowed to think critically or make recommendations that can help the company. Very behind the times with with technology. They will always tell you “this is the way it’s always been done”. If you’re under the age of 35 it will feel very frustrated with their systems. It feels like working for a company stuck in the 90s. You’re entire job as a marketing rep is to win arbitrary competitions and sell overpriced life insurance. It leads to managers pushing you to make unethical decisions.

Pros

Hands down, the best employment culture of any company I’ve worked for in my 25+ years practicing law. Federated is a true rarity - a company that genuinely lives its corporate values every day, in decisions both large and small. Leadership listens to employees with curiosity and a willingness to improve, not defensiveness or indifference. There’s a common refrain that if a company takes care of its employees, those employees will, in turn, take care of customers. I’ve never seen that philosophy embraced or executed as successfully as it is at Federated. Success is recognized and rewarded, teamwork - or “interdependence,” as we call it - is the norm, and challenges or setbacks are treated as opportunities for constructive feedback and growth. And that’s before even mentioning the outstanding compensation and benefits. I recommend Federated wholeheartedly and without reservation to friends and family.

Cons

Business formal dress code for more senior positions may be a bit antiquated.
