Esurance Reviews

Pros

Wonderful culture that is reminiscent of the way some of the fastest growing insurance companies were 15 years ago when everyone knew each other. As Allstate's Direct carrier they are focused and primed for growth in a way that the larger carriers are not. If you are looking to hitch your wagon to a rising star on the way up, Esurance is the place to be.

Advice to Management

Continue to put the pieces in place for growth but don't let go of the friendly atmosphere where everyone knows and supports each other.

Pros

I started my career at Esurance and have transitioned roles during my time. I have had the opportunity to define my interests and have the support of my managers and coworkers to explore them and enhance my skills. It's more investment than I could have expected. For many associates, they are building strong foundations for their careers here, and many times, growing their careers here.

My experience with work/life balance has been good here. I work my own schedule, I never take work home (physically or mentally), and I know this is pretty true across the board. I think more intense teams like IT probably have it a little more tough, but we're an online insurance company. They have a lot of responsibility in keeping us running.

We have company values that really resonate across the company. Sure they can come off cheesy, but I have coworkers who live and breath our values. And that's pretty awesome. It connects them to their work and drives them on. Plus, we have a culture the celebrates our diversity. We have employee resource groups that celebrate and encourage the development of traditionally underrepresented groups in the work place. I think that's pretty cool!

Advice to Management

A little more communication and transparency. We want to know we're doing well, but if we're struggling or came up short on something, tell us. It's all our responsibility to make Esurance successful. I don't mean pass on the blame, I mean pass on the lessons, what we know we can do better, and then give us the opportunity to help.

And let's work on getting people to stop perpetuating a culture of "we can't do that" and "be careful what you say". (Unless they're just being complainers. We don't need that negativity either).

Advice to Management

Stop putting so much emphasis on Surveys. If you tailor your company to subprime insureds then they're likely to be placed at fault anyway. You're making employees cater to these customers as if they're always right. It's insurance, NOT Burger King. The customer can ACTUALLY be wrong, especially when they BACK in to another car.

Poor management needs to be reprimanded when they do something wrong rather than just continuing to let them be tyrants. I've been at this company for over a decade and the last few years the company has gone downhill. I can see that managers don't want to make their employees do what they are doing but the constant answer is "it's coming from above". Fix this- several GOOD people have left and more will be leaving soon.

Pros

Nice campus and the other employees are nice.

Advice to Management

Hire folks in upper management who were actually born in the US.
