Pluspunten
Federated has an excellent training program for marketerers, and do a good job at keeping their people up to speed. Employee benefit programs are exceptional, and those that can make it to retirement will be very comfortable.
Minpunten
Upper management has become very inbred over the years, and the "good ol boy" system still is in place. Mr. Annexstead promoted his BFF to CEO, but remains behind the scenes making all major decisions. Many in senior management are talking the talk, but do not really have a clue about what is going on in the field. Way too much pressure to sell their profitable life insurance line, and that pressure can blur the line on ethics. Big life sales equals promotions, and many managers did not achieve success ethically.
