    Guardian Life Anonymous in New York, NY:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    The long-time associates (non-management personnel) have a heart and are very pleasant to work with.

    Cons

    Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. Many layoffs just about every month. I saw them get rid of long-tenured employees (who were here 10+, 15+, 20+ years) throughout the year. Practically every week you see another employee or two being laid off. How do they do it? Do they throw the long-tenured employees a going-away party and thank them for their contribution? No, they call him/her into a conference room, coldly say that he/she is being laid off, then tell him/her to go down to HR and then go back upstairs to pack their stuff into a box and to leave immediately (like they are a criminal). Morale is in the toilet - the way they treated their staff is absolutely unforgiveable. People absolutely hate working there, are scared for their jobs, and are utterly disgusted at how rudely they throw long-time associates out of the building (just pack up and leave immediately). High turnover.

    Advice to Senior Management

    This company is not the same ever since the new CEO started around 2000. When you treat your employees that rotten, have no heart and throw them out of the building like criminals, you reap what you sow.
