Pros

Structured environment, regular pay (if you can survive the layoffs) good benefits.

Cons

Working there used to be about the customers and employees. The merger with Travelers turned it into the mess it is in now. Now it is all about senior management and how much money everyone in the company could make for them. It has become a very cut-throat environment, where the more sadistic you are, the better the rewards. HR was never about protecting the employees from poor management, they were all about protecting themselves.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
