Cons
Working at Travelers is like being in an abusive relationship, you stay because you hope one day it will get better, they tell you they can change, but it never lasts. Micromanagement is not only a widely accepted, normalized practice but is encouraged and is disguised as "helping" and "coaching". Directionless upper management, rudderless middle management concerned with maintaining perception and brown nosing. Honesty and innovation are discouraged, conformity and perception management are highly prized. I am fairly certain my boss uses ChatGPT when responding to my emails. He sends me lengthy, confusing task lists on daily basis which he sometimes time boxes down to the 30 min increments. You are not allowed any autonomy, and are unable to make even the smallest decisions for yourself. Everything you do will be controlled down to the size, color, font and format in your presentations. My boss frequently gaslights me by disgusting his endless directives as "suggestions" hinting and insinuating of some constant, looming problem with my performance which he is never able to articulate or define. Most of my time here at Travelers is spent responding to my managers countless injuries, and suggestions. If you want to feel inadequate and incompetent this is the place for you. You will never meet expectations hard as you try, they will only move the goal posts, rip apart your work, even if you do exactly as they tell you they will re-do it and make you watch. If you are a female, a person of color basically anyone other than a middle aged white male don't even sniff around this place, unless you want poor mental health and to feel crazy all day. My boss watches my Teams activity and sends me messages if I'm offline. They don't care about people, they care only about how you make them look in front of those with power. On top of all this the pay is low, they run skeleton crews and if you want your Projects to succeed you work multiple jobs, you'll never be compensated they just expect more.
