Reinsurance Group of America Reviews

Cons

Work load, lots of layers of management

Cons

Keep hiring managers with no experience in Admin and have reorged again including more leaders with no admin experience, retention of the same, and promotion of notoriously command and control, stifling leadership. The highest level leader has charisma with management who don't pay attention to what happens on the floor. It is obvious to everyone but not seemingly so with management. Lots of turn over and some of us can't quit as the pay is good and we need jobs. We see good management in other departments and want that.

Cons

More focus needed on employee growth and development

Cons

HR is inept or ineffective when dealing with bullying, insecure, opportunist managers.

Cons

IT is relatively small for a company it's size. The technology investments have a way to go. A lot of manual work done. Training programs for IT is almost non existent. Lots of new challenges to the business model in the future.

Cons

- Old boys club. Lack of diversity. Apart from Anna, few women in positions of influence. No people of color in any leadership position in the US business.
- Insular and very traditional in outlook. People who get promoted are internally focused on pleasing their bosses rather than trying to build growth.
- if you aren’t an actuary don’t bother thinking you will have any future or have you opinion matter.

Cons

No benefits for interns at all

Cons

With growth comes challenges to stay on top of workload. Seems some people over stretched, while others aren't.

Cons

- There is little opportunity to move up in the company.
- It moves glacially slow in most decisions.
- Accountability is lacking, and HR doesn't seem to care about fixing problems. Too many people in upper level management who should not be in those positions; they have outdated ideas, latch onto concepts without really understanding how anything works, and cannot inspire their teams to be the best. There are many in mid-level who are just trying to cater to the boss, not bringing any new ideas to the table and adding to the disfunction.
- Leadership does not look at the the departments holistically, how they function and how to improve them. "Collaboration" is just a buzzword -- each department does its own thing, not utilizing the skills of other groups.
- It is pretty much an old white guys' place. As much as RGA tries to publicize the great women in leaderships roles and Anna Manning is the CEO, its still pretty pale and male at the top levels.

Cons

Middle and lower management is driving IT security strategy. Doing anything for security is a fight for resources from management.

The company runs very lean. There may not be very many opportunities for advancement.
