          Pros

          As a salaried worker, I feel very supported and trusted by management here. I know all managers are different but all of my managers so far have been very hands off but there if you need them, which I enjoy. Benefits are so-so but definitely improving each year as employees demand more. For most roles, they are pretty flexible about your work schedule which is super nice this day in age. From what I have seen, you have many opportunities to advance in your career, or even move to a different area if you don’t like what you were currently doing. Salary in my opinion is pretty decent and maybe even a little above average.

          Cons

          Company is based in the south so their views are a little tailored to certain beliefs which can cause a lot of frustration and discrimination at times. While they have a DE&I council, some of the groups get lack of air time and funding compared to others which is a big problem in my eyes. For example, the Women @ Sonoco or LGBT+ group often don’t get as many events or budget to plan events, etc. compared the the Veterans @ Sonoco group. Senior leadership is mostly white males but have gotten a few women in leadership roles over the years (still mostly white though). So, diversity is a bit of an issue but I know they are trying to actively change that.

                      Underwriter

                      During my interview with a Vice President, he mentioned that the "background check" had been reviewed. He brought up cities I had lived in at one point, even though I hadn't included that information on my resume or LinkedIn profile, though it is accurate. Additionally, he was aware of my entrepreneurship experience, which I had not disclosed anywhere. I'm curious about the source of this information. I'm currently progressing through the interview rounds without any offer or signed documents.

                      Underwriter

                      I’m moving on to round 3 of the interview process after speaking with the VP and it’ll be with peers. My position would be Insurance Product Manager so the peers would be internal stakeholders (Sales, Engineering, Underwriting, Actuary, etc.) What kind of questions typically do peer interviews ask?

                      I have an interview tomorrow for a position as a Fundraiser Specialist for a company that raises funds for children. Any insight or advice to give? I do not have any experience working in fundraising but have worked in sales and have worked in childcare for several years. Thank you!
