Pluspunten
The team you work with are going to become some of your closest allies, fighting in the trenches with you. You can reach out to almost anyone at anytime for help. A lot of helpful resources. Fairly structured operating procedures. Option to purchase PTO on top or awarded PTO. Frequent merit increased. Good benefits.
Minpunten
Micro-managing big wigs who know nothing about the employees they shoot all these reports to. Too much work for the expectation to be perfect. They will assign you a manager who knows diddly squat about the department so you have to rely on your team. Zero negotiation for a more hybrid schedule. Currently, for new hires or less tenured people the schedule is three days in office and two at home. For those who are “granfathered in” have two days in office, three at home. You will have these quarterly meetings where the suits will sit there and talk about the billions the company is making but then you get rewarded for hard work with pizza parties. You will get 1 on 1’s periodically where the upper management will ask for your input as a “front line employee” and say they really care to make work easier and then they take your suggestions and never do anything with them. There are some really horrible and demeaning bosses who have had multiple HR complaints but are still with the company, very involved, and thriving. Just when you think work has been normal pace and you can breathe, they tell you the department is overstaffed and overworked. I once had someone from one of the companies we insure yell at me over the phone for no reason and I brought this up to my manager and the claim account executive (like a liaison between Trav and the insured) who did absolutely nothing but as soon as the account had some sort of grievance (that was of no fault to me), my manager and the CAE catered to them and held their hand.
