Pros

Highly collaborative work environment. No annual performance review or ratings. Performance is discussed through the year and employees lead the discussion. Great Paid Time Off. Recognition for contributions. Opportunities to contribute beyond your day to day responsibilities.

Cons

Company is going through a ton of change and it’s impacting the culture. The change is needed but painful at times (based on skill set of leader driving the change). Once you get to the AVP level there are not many opportunities for advancement or lateral moves. Technology - old systems and service issues due to shift to collaborative workspace and not strong enough bandwidth to handle.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
