Nationwide Employee Reviews about "pay"

Pros

Collaborative environment. Depending on direct manager can be a good day-to-day work environment. Lots of young, talented, professional coworkers. Starting pay is decent (after training period and promotion to "salary" - which comes around 6-8 months), good benefits, flex time. Modern new office. Fortune 100 company with excellent brand recognition and (for the most part) a solid reputation within the industry and with the general public (be prepared to hear that damn jingle every time you mention where you work).

Cons

Some direct managers micromanage associates. There are constantly increasing demands on the performance metrics of associates and support staff with increasing workload and NO increase in pay. No overtime, no incentives, nada. Mid-to-upper management is deeply out of touch with the day-to-day workload and struggles of the associates who keep the company afloat. Culture is turning toxic as a result. Management insists claims dept is 'fully staffed' when the workload is unmanageable (nearly double what it was a year ago). Promoting to a new department from the entry level position is effectively a pay cut. The base pay is slightly more, but other departments (for the most part) do not have the option of working alternative shifts ( which comes with a 10% pay differential) that almost all entry level associates are required to work.

Pros

Friendly culture and environment Generally open minded with management A lot of resources and benefits to use, programs to help you, discounts Alot of networking opportunities and activities Do a good job with recognition and focusing on your development in general Educational opportunities

Cons

Can be very competitive with promotions HR restricts salary increases and promotions for certain roles (can’t jump pay bands at all or easily) Promotions move slower then the way should and the pay isn’t hugely competitive compared to other companies

Pros

Better pay than other insurance companies Good number of vacation days Nice benefits package Complete annual health assessments and they deposit money into a HSA card to help pay for medical expenses

Cons

The longer you work for this company, they less valued you are The bar keeps rising making it impossible to move up in the company. Because the bar is so high, you have no personal life because you can't complete the job requirements in a full work day. If you are good at what you do, management doesn't want to see you leave their unit in order to progress. (Lots of turn over in claims and hard to find decent people who can do the job). If you are salaried, you end up working lots of overtime and don't get paid for it. You can't get the job done without working excessive hours. The older you get, the more you are treated like you don't know how to do your job anymore. Seems to be a trend as this is happening to push the older crowd out and bring in the fresh new meat.

Pros

Good balance of work load and learning / stretching opportunities. Good management, nice coworkers. Very proud of their corporate citizenship and community involvement. Nice to work at a company that you believe in.

Cons

Commuting to downtown can be difficult and you must pay for parking and walk a good bit to the office.

Pros

Flexible schedule; open door management; great training; ability to be promoted

Cons

Lower pay to start out with until permanently hired on; political (which every company is to some extent)

Pros

I love who I work with, what I do, and my overall departments energy.

Cons

Pay is not competitive and to get promoted you have to hop from team to team

Pros

Great culture Good PTO Good mental health benefits Covid time Associate resource groups 401k matching

Cons

Pay is not comparable to the market especially when associate has been there for years and company knows your salary history

Pros

Great company with awesome moral. The pay is low to industry standard for an internal wholesaler but also don't have the stress as you do with other companies

Cons

Glass ceiling when it comes to pay

Pros

Great culture, positive work environment, fun events, able to shadow other roles, and worked completely with full time employees so I got a true experience of what working there after I graduate would be like.

Cons

Full time positions don't pay as well as the national average (but the internship did pay well).
