Good environment - Director Colony Group Employee Review

Great People. knowledgeable staff, a very loyal client base.

An underwriting mill that no longer seems to value experience. Would rather hire young college folks off the street and train them. This is not about lack of IT capabilities, as all of our systems change, as with most companies frequently. Middle management is dreadful. Lack of communication, they seem to treat knowledge as power.. when it should be shared, to inform and empower all employees. An informed staff is more highly regarded in the marketplace. Managers don't seem to understand that we speak to our customers daily. So whom better to communicate this message to our clients, and who better to let our management know what our clients need.

Great schedule and flexibility. Easy money. The home office reps were very friendly and the product lines I serviced were pretty well-known. Great sense of independence at this job.

I was thrown into the position without a clear explanation or notes as to what exactly I needed to do. The trainer was vague and the contact from the home office could take a few days to a few weeks.
