Q&A With Travelers Employees

Pre-pandemic, we would have a summer picnic, a fall offsite outing, and a holiday party. The picnic every year would include an Olympics-style competition with different events. We've been apple picking and gone to corn mazes, as well as attending baseball games, laser tag, and bowling. Some barbecues at parks as well. Not sure if that will happen again even after the return to the office.

They don’t exist. Travelers is very stingy. No holiday parties either.

They are few and far between. No holiday parties because Travelers is too cheap.

Order takers, the company is very set in their ways.

People that are loyal to management and never ask questions.

Hate it

Wish I worked somewhere else.

Cubical farm

Cubicles and they are upgrading to smaller cubicles.

Down. Most feel overworked and underpaid and are looking for new jobs.

Overworked and underpaid compared to other insurance companies. Most of my coworkers feel Travelers is very stingy.

The best they can with what they have to work with. Travelers is not a sales organization nor do they understand what a sales team needs to be motivated.

Travelers is an underwriting oriented company, not a sales-oriented company. I've heard it said many times that product views the sales department as an unnecessary expense.

What you would expect, from a sales team run by underwriters. There is a lot of frustration around not being understood/correctly compensated.

Travelers DOES NOT have a sales culture. They do not understand what it takes to build a good sales team as most the people they hire are not true sales people. They talk a lot about hiring the best people but settle for average at best. Bonuses are not given out based on your territory's production or your ranking in the region and country. Instead, bonuses are awarded to whom management likes best. If your a sales person looking to join a company with a strong sales background, just keep looking because you will never find it at Travelers.

Low. 80% of my coworkers on my team are looking for a new job.

It all depends on who you talk with. Management always act like things are great, but most employees that have been there more than a couple of years feel like they are going no where. There is no clear path on how to move up within the company. Most employees feel they are over worked and way under paid.

Horrible

They expect a lot out of their employees, more than most other carriers, but the pay is low.

Just apply and be passionate about growing your career. Make sure you understand the job you are applying for.

Very flexible which is really nice.

An Underwriter. If your good at sales you will always be frustrated working here.

Way too long, just like everything else at Travelers.

Took too long.

22 PTO days a year

Very secure

After a few years, the job gets boring

Feels like I'm talking to a wall because nothing ever changes.

Show that you have integrity.

Fast or extremely slow.

They do not have a sale organization and do not know how to properly compensate their employees.

Too long. Had 5 interviews

Have more of a sales mentality and think about the agents first.
