Pros

health insurance, life insurance for employee/spouse, paid membership to health club

Cons

Very strict on attendance, management looks for excuses to fire people they don't like, advancement not based on experience but on how well you get along with management. the corporate culture is very threatening. no overall overt threats are made but are implied on a daily basis. If you see someone who is being unethical and alert management, instead of investigating the situation, everything the person who gave the alert is gone over with a fine toothed comb first. they have a "people helping people" form that is to be filled out monthly (on your own time) to basically tattle on others in the building over trivial things but gross violations of osha within the sales buildings are constantly ignored. If you have an issue with a rule (which the "rules" change on an almost daily basis and change according to who they are applied to) and speak to your manager for clarification, you are told you are "not a team player" and if you don't like what is going on "there is the door" it's no wonder they can't keep staff long enough to have them fully trained, policy holders regularly face 20+ minute hold times with 50+ minutes occurring with alarming regularity.

Pros

I just completed my 20th year at Gerber Life and look forward to the next 20. Too many Pros to list so will summarize: supportive leadership team, opportunity for growth and career advancement, contributing to an organization that truly cares for it's customers and being there for them during difficult times. Supportive (and encouraged) work-life balance.

Cons

Pros

User friendly system. Easy to navigate.

Cons

Bait and switch hiring process. Blind trust that daily stats (if/when provided) are correct. Considering stats determine pay, bonus, employment.. this is a huge con.
