Yeah. Worked for 2/3 largest US banks, and some of the largest insurance companies. Most people do not like banks or insurance companies lol.
Out of curiosity, how do you cope with that?
Not saying you're part of why they're terrible but let's say you are a decent person working for a terrible company, do you just get paid enough to shrug it off or what?
No judgement btw, genuinely curious. I have these thoughts about quitting my job often and I just have to tell myself "I work with good people and get paid well enough, just stay the course, dude. Stay the course" lol
No worries, those are good questions. For the banks and one of the insurance companies, I had no moral qualms about working for them. I wasn't asked to do anything unethical or immoral. I leveraged my positions to be as helpful as possible. Also, I remind myself that it's no secret these entities are for-profit, and that their customers have consensually entered a relationship w/ said bank/insurance company. We provided a service they were willing to pay for or have a hassle with.
I will admit, one of the other insurance companies was more of an moral compromise. All the same apply above. However, they advertise heavily, and in the sales department you're encouraged to be aggressive. Nothing illegal, but definitely not for those of us who aren't conditioned to it.
Hope that makes sense. I can expand more if needed.
