St. Paul Travelers Employer Reviews

They are not the worst insurance company out there to work for. But watch your mouth and your back. They pay a decent wage but when you take into consideration your parking fees, walking time and bus fair, you make about 2.00 less an hour. Good benefits and a future if you cant stand the management and rude co workers long enough to move up with in – more... the company. Used to be a GREAT company to work for. NEW center manager came in and turned it into a numbers game. – less

A typical Day in Commercial Lines is Following a Daily Calendar to acheive goals. The created MANY fun days to make our work days easier. The most enjoyable part is the people you work with.
The worst part of the job is managment. The direct supervisors are one way and VERY UNFAIR. If not liked you are pushed and pushed til you are forced out of the – more... door. Travelers does not believe in Firing ANYONE. – less

Generous PTO. Great compensation. Work like crazy. Little support from coworkers or management. Low moral. Constant gossip around office.

Excellent compensation and benefits. Coworkers are great. Teamplayers. No support from management. Not a lot of employees over 40 years old working there. Turn over is incredible. Revolving door. Everyone is stressed trying to pick up pieces when coworkers are let go or forced to quit. Micro management, large workloads left from former employees and – more... the constant fear that you will be terminated prevents you from properly investigating claims and giving them the time they deserve. Not a good career choice. Take your degree and go to a company that will really appreciate you and your hard work – less

Not a great company to work for; they're more interested in sponsoring golf games than taking care of their employees.

Travelers strives for excellence, the usual work is 8 to 5, the managers are flexible and understanding but expect the best, co-workers are great team players, continuous improvement is the hardest part of the job, customer service and team work is the best part of the job.

My typical day at work was very enjoyable. My co-workers and managers were very helpful. They were always available whenever I needed help. The most enjoyable part of the job was that I was exposed to a variety of different jobs. I just didn't sit at a desk all day doing one thing. I liked the idea of being able to move about doing filing, photocopying – more... etc. Data Entry was the most fun. I learned a lot by working in the mailroom since it was necessary for me to identify mail and make sure it was given to the proper people or needed to be mailed to the proper people. There really was no hardest part of the job. Very few times did I experience pressure on the job. – less

I worked for Travelers for several years and even relocated with them when they moved locations. In 2009 a new CEO was hired and is horrible. Employees quality scoring changed dramaticaly so bonus' are unachievable. They made the amounts of vacation time available limited and would give a full occurrences instead of half when vacation time wasnt open – more... and there was an important appointment an employee would have to attend. It has been the worst job I have ever had. They are not making employees work on thankgiving and christmas starting in 2012. – less

Very Busy. There is no flex time. Mangement is a
joke. Advancement is slow.

good co-workers - very busy office, productive environment; lots of time to make decisions

Great learning opportunities as well as many career paths available. Not a great deal of work life balance but you will love the people you work with...which makes it work it!

A typical day at work is hands-on skill building and team work.

I learned about the commercial insurance.

Excellent managers, good co-workers.

Everything about the being there was a great experience.

The hardest part of the job was leaving when they outsourced our department.

Travelers is a great place to work. In my seven years I worked five different positions, each having great sucess. I now know Workers Compensation and General Liability. I was also able to obtain my Colorado Resident Producer license for Casualty and property. I very much enjoy working in Insurance.

I have enjoyed working in the different departments of Travelers. Due to environment changes I was laid off approximately three years ago. There were multiple changes in management during my last position there therefore there were many cultural changes as well. There was no typical day at work as the demands of the job were ever changing as what our – more... clients needs were changing at the same time. – less

They started me off with a project that was already going on, which consists of me and another coworker sorting out documents and scanning them into the computer so that everything will become computerized. I did this for a couple months before they started to give me more tasks to do on top of this. I had to work with much more confidential documents – more... which included employee's personal information to fill out conversion forms upon request. Although it was a little repetitive, I loved how I was always doing something and that I was constantly busy. – less

Not the best co if you are looking yo move up. They do not appreciate bright, sharp, detail oriented people. They hire people with no experience for the more important jobs, and leave the seasoned, experienced workers as bottom feeders. The systems they use are DOS based from the 80s. They don't want, appreciate, or care for career minded people.

Closed my department and moved it to Columbus, Ohio

The Travelers Insurance Co.

Very busy office. Lots of typing. Busy phones. Good co-workers.
