Company is in complete disarray

Pros

Ability to telecommute if your management allows it. Bonuses are still provided if applicable due to performance. No further pros.

Cons

Massive layoffs and restructuring as the result of the retail separation. Morale is very low especially for employees who were in departments that were eliminated and given the option to apply for newly created positions that are identical to their former role that was eliminated. Others are nervous if they will have a job. Work environment is challenging as there are rarely any procedures in place to guide employees to perform their jobs well. Poor or no communication among teams which leads to projects failing miserably or delays in deployment. Clueless and largely absent management that are unable to provide adequate guidance to their employees. The company has changed for the worst in the past 10+ years that I have been here.

Pros

none, unless you like lies and deceit? Nice facility in Cary but open seating is awful. free fake coffee, and the food is over priced in cafe.

Cons

no work life balance, new moms cant take time, have to use FMLA to take care of family, its toxic and lots are miserable. Management is just undermining each other to get the few AVP or SVP jobs there are.

Pros

Big name in insurance. Leaders of the past are well regarded. They have a blimp.

Cons

Work / life balance is a sham. If upper management asks your opinion, wait until they give it to you . It is the worst company I ever worked for, or even heard of. Office is dirty and disgusting.
