This company is a product of the merger of two companies - one was in Atlanta and the other was in Miami. They kept both offices and have a couple thousand people at each location. Through acquisitions they have offices elsewhere. In the other offices the employees are treated as second class citizens. They are almost universally treated badly to encourage resignations so Assurant won't have to pay hefty severance packages. Perhaps this is the norm if you work for an acquired company, but they're very passive aggressive about it which is annoying to say the least. People are terminated in a somewhat random fashion - some are let go with no notice and others get up to four months notice. If you are "lucky" enough to not be terminated you will have to contend with their incredibly antiquated technology (circa 1980) and siloed method of operating. It's difficult to find the one person out of the 14,000 who has the knowledge you're looking for if you're trying to solve a problem, and only about half of the other employees at best are willing to help. Most people are punching the clock and couldn't care less about anyone outside of their silo. In addition, there is a class system where the top layers of management are treated very differently than the lower levels. Perhaps this is the norm in Fortune 250 companies, but that doesn't mean it's right. Assurant is a prime example of why insurance companies are considered to be dinosaurs. I wouldn't buy their stock on a bet. They're standing still at best.
