Intense and uneasy work environment
FMLA Leave Specialist (Former Employee), Chattanooga, TN – February 22, 2013
I worked at Unum for 2 years. I was not happy there due to the unrealistic expectations placed on the employees from management. the management team as a whole lacked compassion or understanding with the employees. The focus on unrealistic expectations created an unhappy workplace. My co-workers were great - I made lasting friendships and there was – more... a teamwork atmosphere among the other leave specialists. The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to work and help employees during some of the most difficult times in their lives. – less

CA location is toxic
Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant (Former Employee), Glendale, CA – November 14, 2012
Pros: salary, benefits, co-workers
Cons: management, no support for staff, poor morale
In a nut shell I really enjoyed working with the nurses, doctors, and a majority of the Disability Benefit Specialists. My follow VRCs were amazing and I loved doing returned to work with claimants when allowed. The CA location does not have the perks of the East Coast locations, like a gym or healthy work/life balance or decent HR people.

The Glendale – more... office is brutal because managers dont care about anything but numbers, training is non-existent, favoritism is rampant, and promotions rarely happen. The blame games is played fast, hard and frequent at this location. – less

Accounting Assistant III (Former Employee), Portland, ME – October 7, 2012
Pros: benefits
Cons: lack of training time
I learned to calculate depreciation, run investment reports and state tax returns. Management and co-workers were helpful and supportive. The hardest part of the job was to keep up to date with all the new and changing tax laws. The most enjoyable was our annual meetings and outings with our counterparts in Tennessee.

Unum has a mix of good and poor managers
OPERATIONS TECHNICAL ANALYST III (Current Employee), Portland, ME – September 15, 2012
Pros: opportunities
Cons: bad food :)
In my 8 years of service with this company I've been exposed to many opportunities, learned a great deal about myself and made many friends. However like all large companies they have good and bad managers. A re-organization can mean the difference between reporting to a wonderful boss one day and a not-so-wonderful boss the next. These kinds of uncertainties – more... can lead to some job anxiety at times. My departments underwent no less then 12 reorganizations during my time with Unum-That is the most challenging part for me. – less
