Pros

Still hybrid, 3 days in office and work flexibility depending on the team you are on. 20% Chewy discount for employees.

Cons

Distinct lack of leadership direction stemming from C-suite down. Cross-functional orgs with very little synergy, competing priorities, and little bandwidth due to company downsizing. Rotating door of senior leadership causing re-orgs and shifting/conflicting priorities every quarter. Constant re-orgs contribute to sharp reduction in institutional knowledge ("brain drain") and constant "1 step forward, 2 steps back" company wide. Lack of advancement opportunity past C6 level (aka senior individual contributor) due to extremely top heavy management. Lack of consistency in level/title vs scope of work, competency, and number of direct reports

Pros

I am very happy in my role and grateful for the growth I have experienced over the last four years. Selling pet insurance has helped me become more confident and skilled in sales, communication, and customer support. I truly enjoy helping clients understand their options and feel supported when making decisions for their pets. I also value being part of a team where I can support my teammates and take on tasks that contribute to the overall success of the department. I appreciate the opportunities I have had to grow, improve, and make a positive impact in my role.

Cons

I would appreciate more alignment between daily responsibilities and the core expectations of the role. Some of the additional tasks assigned do not directly connect to pet insurance or sales. These tasks have impacted my overall adherence and metrics. I understand the importance of supporting business needs, but I believe it would be beneficial to reevaluate this process so that agents can remain focused on the responsibilities that best support their role and performance expectations.
