Vantaggi
The people in our office. They are top-notch. I work for one of the companies Solera purchased. I am not micro-managed in my department and have a lot of freedom. I feel my boss and coworkers respect me.
Svantaggi
"Tony Aquila, CEO of Texas-based auto insurance software provider Solera Holdings, made $29.9 million in 2013." Good for him (seriously). He landed at #6 on the top highest paid CEOs in tech. However, this is at the expense of all of his employees. I'm all for making money and doing well. However, when it is your employees who work hard for you and help put you there you have a financial and moral responsibility to compensate them. Many employees in Solera Holdings are suffering. The cost of living is constantly rising and they refuse to give raises. They will not even give us information about what is going on and despite how hard we work they always find an excuse to cut back. For a company this large, their healthcare plan is so awful. I need to go to the doctor but I literally cannot afford it. The first few thousand dollars are straight out of your pocket and that is on top of a high monthly premium, co-pays once you hit the few thousand dollars and a percentage on top of that (like 10%) I think. Every one of the great employees from our original company is jumping ship. Getting rid of hard-working, knowledgeable, loyal employees is such a huge mistake. I can't imagine being in the position of CEO and treating my employees so terribly.
