Radian Group Reviews

Pros

Good exposure to management and some functions

Cons

growth is not very big

Advice to Senior Management

allow more opportunities to grow

Pros

Pay well, and there is a reason for that. As a matter of fact they overpay in most cases. (Battlepay?) Managers can be flexible with work schedules. Benefits are OK. The HR Department keeps trying to sell the Consumer Driven plans which really are tough to understand. They consistenly make the other plans way more expensive so that employees will pick the CDHPs.

Cons

Long, long hours - sometimes into the night and weekends, with very little reward. By rewards I mean a day off, or some sort of spot bonus.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop rewarding the same people over and over again.

Pros

Radian does pay well, and they provide a good benefit package. They also pay a good portion of the medical benefits - 70/30 split. They also have a host of benefits that are free, like College Coach, Health Advocate, Life Insurance and more.

Cons

People can sometimes work in silos, and are not always respectful to others. Sometimes people forget that that we are human beings and deserve respect. I've heard people curse at one another (the 'f' word) and they've actually taken credit for others work, promotions are given to all the wrong people. Management allows employees to hold them hostage for more and more money. Result, Radian overpays it's employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Look around, listen and learn what your employees and the economy is saying. The company is in a financial bind right now, and we are spending money quicker than ever. STOP, let the economy tell us what we need to do, then do it. If we have to scale back to save the company, SCALE BACK!
