Liberty Mutual Reviews

Pros

It has a great work environment, I love my bosses as well as coworkers. They also really challenge you and give you important tasks.

Cons

I believe the worst thing about Liberty Mutual is that it doesn't pay as well as other companies do with same job.

Advice to Senior Management

I would say prepare well for the interview, Liberty Mutual wants employs that know how to work in groups and have good social skills.

Pros

The benefits are great and easily accessible

Cons

More external hiring than promotion from within.

Pros

Collaborative work spirit. Managers were more than glad to assist and provide feedback. Pay was quite competitive for a college student at the time.

Cons

Training consisted of shadowing a current employee. Routine tasks were given to interns to complete (recording new claims, filling out IMEs, etc).

Advice to Senior Management

This is dependent upon the manager assigned to the fellow intern(s), but a suggestion would be to delegate more responsibility in order to provide a challenging intern experience.

Pros

Freedom in decision-making, excellent training program

Cons

Terrible work-life balance; poor mid-level management.

Pros

1 - Pay was on par with industry.
2 - Benefits package was decent.

Cons

1 - The case load you are expected to manage is unreasonable
2 - Supervisors/Team Managers have an over inflated sense of self worth
3 - You are monitored much too rigidly - I was told I was going to the restroom to frequently
4 - Negative feedback is doled out too often and too easily while positive feedback is rare (feedback from the Supervisors/Team Managers)

Advice to Senior Management

I think management only needs to take a look at the turn over rate in the Subro Dept to see that there is a serious problem. More employees need to be hired to make the work load more manageable and the current crop of Supervisors/Team Managers need to be re-evaluated to determined if they have truly have the skills to lead.

Pros

Fairly good training. Good benefits. Stable company--not going to get laid off unless you underperform. CAN make good money--but don't expect it without working very hard in the beginning.

Cons

eft out basic training on Life insurance. You find good success in the beginning selling to people you know, after that your "funnel" will run out if you're not careful to be active online and in the community. It's not a 9-5 office job. You really need to get out and be seen in your community by participating in community events and joining clubs. This is probably the hardest job I've done simply because you have to find your own business.

Advice to Senior Management

Provide better training for life insurance and go over the compensation plan in DETAIlL during the training months.

Pros

Benefits are great. Co workers work together very well.

Cons

Work life and personal life balance is horrible. As and adjuster, 10 and 12 hour days are common every single week. Older employees are not appreciated. Management does not recognize a job well done. We actually have paper files now. Haven't worked paper in 14 years. Too many user ids and passwords for the mutiple systems you have to work in to just get one claim handled.

Advice to Senior Management

Give your employees decent systems to work in. Give them an opportunity to go home sometime.

Pros

Very knowledgeable managers in business units - they understand their business and work towards ensuring that their goals and behavior align with the organization

Cons

Various management styles per business unit - this impacts the ability of cross-functional teams regarding moving rapidly at the pace of business needed

Advice to Senior Management

Ensure that acquisitions don't impact current culture by allowing acquired management structures to begin promoting and hiring in former acquired company supervisors and managers

Pros

benefits are great including pension flexible work environment great employees 401k contributions are great as well as bonus structure and performance review

Cons

communications with staff and systems issues that need to be resolved to assist in workloads but this should definitely be updated shortly

Pros

Great pay, good benefits, excellent 401K, pension, company credit card.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. Very little life/work balance.
