Fortegra really cares about their associates. Between the free weekly lunches, the renovated gym, the generous time off, and more, it feels like a family.

The way everyone comes together.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They pretend things matter so we do. No one cares, no work is done. As long as there's no change all is good. Fix at your own peril.

They were considerate of my time. And were honest about what the job entailed so I knew what I was getting into.
Meeting the different department heads individually.
At my on-site interview, the CEO, CFO, COO, and Director of Finance took the time out of their busy day to interview me in a panel format with other applicants. Alongside standard interview questions, they sincerely wanted to get to know me and understand my work ethic.

The new work space, while nice and modern looking is too noisy and the desk are kind of small for a larger person. Also too much emphasis on how things look rather than function
