Pros

The building is beautiful, money & benefits are competitive. Excellent financial rating.

Cons

No life work balance. They talk like they respect employees but when it comes down to it they will pressure you to do more than is possible. They are seeking to compete by being responsive and nimble to the market (that's good) but they do it at the expense of their employees quality of life (that's bad). For a company that's making a lot of money for Berkley they don't spend what is necessary to make Admiral nimble and responsive in a sustainable way. It's a shame.

Pros

Excellent company culture. Good opportunity for career growth when you put the work in and your goals are made clear. Actually feels like the company values its employees. Hybrid work is pretty flexible within reason.

Cons

It feels like the pay/compensation is average or a bit below average compared to market. Underwriting Guidelines are always changing and not always clear, but this may be the nature of our business, and not necessarily Admiral’s fault.

Pros

Admiral is a tremendous place to work!!! The people come first. The company President is a down to Earth real person that will help people change flat tires in the parking lot. Team building activities are well attended social things that people want to participate in rather than feeling forced to be involved in. Would be hard pressed to find anyone unwilling to help others. Big emphasis on innovation and technology. All ideas are given time to percolate and develop into potentially game changing and value driving projects.

Cons

Not many if any. People tend to stay a long time and retire from Admiral because it's a great place to be.

Thank you for your kind words and for being part of Admiral for more than a decade. Hearing feedback like this from long-tenured employees means a great deal to us. We’re proud to foster a workplace where people come first and where leadership remains approachable and supportive. Stories like the one you shared about leadership stepping in to help others truly reflect the culture we strive to build every day. It’s also great to hear that our team-building activities and collaborative environment resonate with employees. Creating opportunities for connection, whether through social events, innovation initiatives, or cross-team collaboration, helps strengthen the sense of community that makes Admiral unique. We’re equally excited about the innovation and technology initiatives you mentioned. Encouraging employees to share ideas and explore new approaches is an important part of how we continue evolving as a company. Thank you for your continued dedication and for helping shape the culture that makes Admiral such a special place to work!
