Pros

Allianz Life fosters a healthy workplace environment and drive employee engagement. There are great on-campus amenities such as a golf putting green, two cafeterias, pickle-ball court, gym, daycare, healthcare office, and 6 level heated parking garage. They offer great benefit packages with competitive PTO rates.

Cons

Allianz Life is a very high level company within the Annuity and Life Insurance industry, and with that come the woes of large scale, corporate America. With very high efficiency metric standards, they often neglect to look past the metrics to check on employee well-being. While they offer several great employee resource groups and events, employees in the Allianz Contact Center are discouraged from attending these events and groups in any reasonable capacity. Additionally, the wage does not accurately compensate for the amount of work and effort that employees contribute. For a $50B plus company, their wage compensation is lacking. There are other areas of the company that have much more flexibility, but the metrics and oversight of employee well-being appears to remain constant throughout the company structure.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
