Pros

Growing company Cutting edge innovation Nice new West Des Moines location

Cons

Reorganized Life New business Department where underwiriter reports to Non-underwriting managers. Managers, Directors, VPs making decisions with no prior experience and not aware of potential fall-out. Disssatisfaction at most job levels. Individual contributers do not feel like management cares or sees the big picture anymore. Managers that are not seen or respected as leaders due to incompetence. Commmincation is very poor. Shift from quality underwriting decisions that estabilished Aviva as a formatable competitor to widget environment where cranking out underwriting desions is first and quality is last. This is not in the best interst of our customer and will only serve to reverse the strides we have made in the BGA market.

Pros

Benefits package is very good, compared to other organisations. Good employee-oriented activities organised.

Cons

Biased treatment from bosses, across departments. Some employees ger more favored for whatever reasons. Favoritism is very rampant. Lack of integrity from bosses and SM. People who are favored by bosses, often bring in friends of their own, skipping proper interview processes.
