Terrible Management with Old School Thinking

Pros

- Has a Good Work Life Balance - Salary is ok compared to external opportunites

Cons

- Management does not invest development time in Employees - Old School management mentality that restricts advancement for employees who display talent for the work. - The Current grade of employee factors into any interview process. - Employees have no say at all in year end performance scores (Bonus, Yearly Raises and promotions are based on this score) - The Yearly Performance Objectives are extremely vague and managers do not keep up with/check in until the year is over. - Hard to get promoted due to Old School Mentality and Politics

Pros

Training department was wonderful and really prepared my training class and I for life on the phones. Managers were helpful and genuinely interested in your success. Benefits were excellent, which is to be expected from an insurance company. Work-life balance is nice, can leave at the end of the day and start anew tomorrow.

Cons

The amount of stress that managers and the higher ups put on the call center reps is unrealistic and completely unnecessary. Having worked in an insurance call center before, a well known insurance provider at that, I can say all of the metrics they deem are "indicators of success" are merely micro-managing tactics and that's it. They talk about how much they value the NPS (Net Promoter Score aka Customer Satisfaction score), and how much they want to increase their ranking. Safeco/Liberty Mutual is at the bottom for a reason, while my previous insurance company was ranked in the top 5 and had adhered to much less metrics and micromanagement of their employees. When numbers and data take precedent to building rapport and bringing peace of mind to customers, your employees will lose the desire to help and will replace it with a fear of trying not to get fired. Obviously a call center environment. Some days are better than others but when you're in an insurance call center, more often than not people are calling because something is wrong. Consistently dealt with customer's premiums increasing for virtually no reason. Higher ups will tell you its absolutely necessary and will give you reasons on how to explain, but a 40 year old woman with a clean driving history should never see her premium jump up almost 50% for the year. I felt as if I was lying to these people and felt horrible for it. Unless things change and expectations become more realistic, avoid this position at all costs. I cannot begin to stress this enough, but this was without question the worst professional position I've ever held and was it an enormous waste of time.
