Employees say
“I feel useful and productive, and I am not overly micromanaged, allowing me to take initiative in my own space.”
“I always thought I would never like an office job because I came from being in construction. But the energy I get from the workplace is awesome, and my team lead is really a really good at helping me and so are my co-workers.”
“It feels like a true calling to me. I usually test well in critical thinking/judgment, and that is one of my primary responsibilities as an underwriter. I feel well-informed about things going on in the company.”
