Pros of working at Great-West Lifeco

For the most part my position seems secure

Cons of working at Great-West Lifeco

They have grown to the point that people no longer seem to know each other. It feels like changes are knee jerk reactions rather than ones that are well thought out. For example they new trend is for self development goals and a mentoring program by your direct manager. Many managers are not equipped to mentor the employees so this becomes a tedious task that will yield mediocre results.
