Vantaggi
The biggest benefit to working here was that it was a learning experience - working with the company's products gives staff a good starting point to understanding the ins-and-outs of the global market for international health insurance products. Additionally, the company is not a high-pressure environment, staff are generally allowed to dress casually and work at their own speed. Employees were not normally asked to do overtime, with most individuals leaving the office promptly at 6 pm.
Svantaggi
No training, no professional development, and no consistency. Additionally, Pacific Prime's practice of operating more than 50 different websites leads to some very awkward interactions with customers who may never have heard of the primary brand, and has caused the company to run into regulatory issues throughout South East Asia (Thailand and Singapore specifically). All employees were on different pay scales, with performance based pay structured at the whim of the CEO (with downward revisions in pay to be expected in the event that an employee performs "too well"). New employees can expect a blanket 5 year non-compete agreement to be inserted into their contract, which may impact the individual's ability to find work within the global insurance industry after having left the company. Management will also find scapegoats in the event of lost revenue, and may blame brokers and admin staff for organizational failures.
