Pros

Good benefits Cafeteria Co-workers worked well together and supported each other Some of the managers are nice Good location Good company I would recommend people to work there but not for 2 units in the company

Cons

I worked at XL for years in various sectors of the company. Never in my life did I ever think I would be a victim of such a horrific experience as I did in my last years with the company. My direct manager was filled with hate toward individuals she managed, was extremely controlling, micromanaged to the point that it caused interference with production, lied to keep us from doing things that the rest of the company was allowed to do like work from home, held information back, sought managerial advice from lower level staff, had lower level staff perform managerial duties, was able to mentally push nerve wracked people out the door, turned Senior Management against us too, and Senior Management also said inappropriate things to us too. The staff was so upset, everyone was taking anxiety pills to survive. Human Resources became aware and did nothing about it. We all worked hard, we all tried our best, but we were treated with cruelty and hate. How this continues and managers like this are not fired is beyond me.

Pros

401k match and work life balance.

Cons

Mandatory 3 day in the office, abysmal raises (2-3%), and overall crappy culture. They're trying to improve the culture with “culture champions”, but it is just lip service because the company refuses to provide any meaningful budget for food or branded gifts for their employees. Office is very quiet and not in a good way. There is NO upward mobility unless you’re already in upper management.
