Vantaggi
If you are in sales (producer), while you are heavily scrutinized, you are the most important people for USI. Compensation can be amazing for top performing producers. However, Account management, operations, and administrative roles are all after thoughts for USI and it's leadership. Technology used to be very dated, but I've seen it improve quite a bit in the last few years from the computers we use, to the CRM system, to the online hr portal.
Svantaggi
If you aren't a producer,be prepared to be ignored and treated like a disposable asset. The company is extremely outdated in its mentality and will lose and stop attracting millennial talent at the current pace. Raises, even for basic cost of living adjustments are not a given. This was conveniently not mentioned during the recruiting process. In fact in any given year, most people do not receive a raise of any kind, and many people I know have gone several years without a raise. Any raise needs to be approved by a single executive in corporate, which is crazy for a 4500 person company. There is no value placed on the performance review process, and it is not used as a tool to help employees improve. It's done once a year, and they don't even have additional reviewers brought into the feedback process, the manager does it 100% in a silo, which is really bizarre since you and your manager may not work together regularly.
