PHLY Experience
Marketing Intern (Former Employee), Glen Allen, VA – May 5, 2013
Pros: good pay, set hours, comfortable working environment, nice coworkers, clean office
Cons: super quiet, a little boring
I was only at this company for a short time as an intern so my experiences with the company are limited. What I can say is that the pay is nice, the hours are comfortable, the computer system is easy to use, and the work is not overwhelming. However, it does get pretty quiet in the Glen Office since there are only 3 people that work there regularly – more... and more often than not, at least one is out of the office. – less

Sr. Mgmt weak at best
Anonymous (Current Employee), Anonymous – November 14, 2012
Pros: free coffee
Cons: company does not care about employees
Sr. Mgmt not concerned with employee engagement, management by fear is typical.

HR has been a revolving door of Sr. Leadership, which tells you a lot. Innovation not encouraged. Just follow the status quo.

Nice Place, Unfortunate Circumstances
Customer Care Representative II (Former Employee), Bala-Cynwyd, PA – June 27, 2012
My time at this company was cut short due to the removal of my department. To summarize this values and direction of the company was favorable and was a place I envisioned myself with for a long time before my time was cut short.

Great job, boss okay at best
Account Executive (Former Employee), Tigard, OR – June 19, 2012
Pros: rewarding, great compensation
Cons: micromanagers
Not much more to say than that. I loved the position, and everything that went along with it. Management was focused on numbers generated in reports to evaluate performance. This is a good indicator, but only to an extent. For example, a complete newbie that knew nothing about what what they are doing can easily outperform an experienced profession, – more... simply because they don't slow done to look at what they are doing. Part of the job, in theory, is to note irregularities or concerns with applications. Speedy Gonzales never takes the time, but his/her performance never reflects that fact. – less

Fine Place to Work
Underwriter (Current Employee), n/a – December 4, 2011
Pros: free breakfast/lunch from time to time, management is approachable.
Cons: they speak of work/life balance, but they don't actually encourage it.
Company communication is good. It's always fairly easy to have a good grasp of what's going on in our company, within the industry, etc. Goals are clearly defined.
Current economy has put a stall on raises. Bonuses are harder to achieve. I'm told this company is on the lower end of the pay scale for many positions. But there are a lot of little extras – more... that you could take advantage of (gym membership reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, longer lunch hour if you choose to work out).
Vacation/sick time is nothing to complain about, pretty average I think. – less

Family owned Insurance company
Systems Analyst 1 (Current Employee) – March 13, 2011
This company is great if you like to run triathlons, but not so great if you want to get promoted. Unless of course you are related to them.
