Acuity has great work life balance and allows one to work remote. The company culture is caring and there are a lot of events and gifts given by the company.
Cons
Unfortunately events and gifts do not pay the bills. In my opinion acuity has not caught up with the times with pay (even with inflation adjustments).
Great benefits, pay, flextime. Still a carrier that allows underwriters to make decisions and they do not sweat a lot of things the larger carriers do and still perform well.
Cons
Your manager can make or break your time here. There are a lot of changes you will see many comments on here but these changes are needed.
- Flextime is decreasing
- More work with higher expectations but no additional compensation
- Conflicting information given on wanting to write more business faster but then expecting more tools be used which takes longer. Quote by Managment recently : "If you think you don't have enough time, you do...." Biggest statement of disconnect in a while.
- Which leads to the next point: Big disconnect between Leadership and Employees. Leadership believes that we have no reason to be unhappy because no one is truly listening to the employees anymore; not like they used to. What used to feel like a family now feels corporate. The same people are moving up the ladder fast and living the dream while everyone else gets walked all over.
- Some managers are now seeking "demotions" because of the changing expectations and culture. Demotions by choice are not usually allowed here.
- A lot more people "choosing to retire early" over the last few years. It used to be hard to get people to retire.
