Pros
- Some very amazing people who are at their fields. Those select few are great teachers and mentors. - If you work with the managers of the departments, you'll learn a lot in a year. - Amazing pension if you stay long enough. - About average 401K, but with good options to select from.. - Very close to the Westfield Mall and a local park. Great for getting out for errands or having lunch. - The parent company, Torchmark Corp. is good to their employees.
Cons
- No vertical or horizontal movement. Maybe after 5 years. - Small office, cubes, and lots of yelling as certain people don't want to get up and walk 20 feet. - Salary is not up to industry standards. The "flexibility" they offer does not make up for it. - Benefits besides the Pension are avg. if not lower. - Micromanagement from the top down, but in different words. - Passive-aggressive communication. - People have been belittled enough they cry at work. - Ideas and solutions are listened to, but management always goes with their own choice.. - Not an enterprise level company / more of a division that acts as a start-up. Very lean staffed. - Campaigns can take months or years to launch. Things move very slow here usually, but randomly you'll have a blitz of working 80 hours to meet unrealistic deadlines. - No work/life balance. - They've lost 5 people in 5 years who report to the same person... not a coincidence.
