- DoreenMichele 8y agoI don't have any experience with working at a startup. What I do have is 5+ years experience working at Aflac some years back. I no longer work there. They sell supplemental insurance, not major medical. They don't do co-insurance. They pay cash directly to the policyholder. Not long before I left, they came out with a disability policy that could be purchased with as few as 4 employees and working as little as 30 hours per week. My recollection is this was groundbreaking. They can provide access to benefits at no cost to the company.
- roguecoder 8y agoThings I've seen: * No 401ks (which means I'm paying extra in taxes). * Crappy health benefits (prescriptions costing 4x what they do under other plans or high deductible plans). * No commuter benefits/pre-tax Clipper cards. * No tuition reimbursement or education budget, the assumption being that just working is supposed to be the whole of the employee's career advancement. * No parental leave. * No childcare support (why this isn't rolled into coworking spaces I have no idea.) * No HR in case of harassment, politics or personal vendettas.
