What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening and not lieing as well as keeping word site management is worst also dating an employee under her
explaining their products inside and out. And being honest
Defining a strategy and bottom up initiative development and execution
Stop micromanaging, and stop with the constant change.
Review from Legal Dept
Execution strategy accountability and commitment
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Benefits are mediocre/poor and base pay is lower than many other companies of similar size in Denver.
I feel lied to and for the compensation, i would feel bad knowing what i know now to even offer anyone your services.
Health insurance is terrible - high deductible and huge co-pays. Bonuses never pay at 100%, even when company is doing great.
Stock price has bottomed out and valueless
Better pay. Way better health insurance

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Educating them more about how your products/services truly work
There is no process for planning work delivery. Everyone throws darts at aboard to figure out what work can get done when.
Less gossip and a supervisor who is effective and capable.
Review from Operations Dept
They need to be more engaged in the affairs of their own team as opposed to those of other teams.
Review from Legal Dept
I have a great bunch of co-workers who are knowledgeable and want to do well. Management works us against each other, rather than up with each other on a team. Management does not show any confidence in their teams and micromanages them until they feel insecure and belittled.
Review from Legal Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Better management and pay we are due
everyone being in the same page when it comes to knowing the products
Actual goals and a performance management system,. Goals are meaningless at the company.
Enough employees to do the work. Managers that listen to employees.
Review from Legal Dept
Cultural revolution and a culling of old ways
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
When I interviewed in 10 months ago it was ok
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Transamerica's inforce customer service department is the worst. Agents spend more time smoothing things over with customers than they do in the field.
Review from Finance Dept
There is too much work trying to be put through the funnel and huge turnover. Everyone is burnt out.
Reorganization fatigue has set in and effects morale
Too many changes. Create something and stick with it
Management is rudderless. People are overworked, fearful and competitive. Management needs to focus on behavior rather than appearances.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?
