Texas Department of Insurance Employee Reviews about "management"

Pros

Excellent time off Self managing Opportunity to travel

Cons

No training structure Austin management is not in tune with field offices ERS pension plan will tax the hell out of your paycheck

Pros

Some staff are knowledgable in their respective areas. Good benefits. Easy gig.

Cons

The PM Office is under IT and projects do not get the attention they need from TDI management. Project priorities are unknown to staff. Management pushes the idea that all projects are priority. A new project priority each week. The PM role at TDI is an overglorified note taker. You take notes in meetings and provide notes to management. Few IT staff seem to be motiviated to do anything. PM's cannot track employee project hours adequately.

Pros

Great People! Management is very knowledgable. Positive work enviroment.

Cons

Pay could be better. Benefits are great though!

Pros

Positive work environment, great people to work with, they offer free training to employees who wish to gain more experience, and they promote from within the agency.

Cons

Salaries are on the low side for the time commitments, management is pretty flexible, and approachable with dates for requesting vacation, and the salary increases seem to be slightly above the inflation rate for staff that stays in their current position year after year.

Pros

Flexible schedule, salaried, management works with you.

Cons

Not a lot of career movement, low pay, excessive work load

Pros

Free health insurance is available, and time off is ok, you get off state holidays.

Cons

Very high turnover- 43% in one department. Legal has very high turnover rate with constant vacancies. Legal department is poorly run with lots of yelling and accusations. You will not be treated as an adult professional. Lot of fragile egos in management and managers who are emotionally volatile under stress. Do not work here-the salary is low compared to other state agencies and the toxicity is too high. If you are fat, legal probably won't hire you anyway.

Pros

Pros- lots of time off--state holidays. Do not require overtime as it's not in the state budget. Very slow paced.

Cons

Terrible management with no experience in business. Bully and threatening management style threatening management style threatening management style.

Pros

Of course it depends on department, but I love my immediate managers and the executive management as they are considerate of work/life balance.

Cons

Downtown commute Pay is lower than public sector

Pros

Diversity, career advancement, and pay

Cons

Brought in specifically to address problems that been brewing for years. My strong management style led to my demise. Inept leadership could felt threatened by my capabilities. Instead of correcting the ship they decided to keep standards low and return to business as usual.
