Pros

The company has undergone some major changes over the last 2 years and there are more changes on the horizon. It's not typical for insurance companies to be open to change. You'll have some fantastic coworkers to work with!

Cons

The work life balance is just not there, due to poor staffing and a lack of understanding of what the job entails on a regional management level. Although corporate has a strong wellness focus, it's all for show. Reality is that Underwriters work late/come in on weekends to keep heads above water. This results in some very burnt out staff that are afraid of admitting they are burnt out for fear of being labeled "weak" or "lazy". The company had aggressive growth targets, so the pressure is on.

Pros

Here's something fun: Petline hasn't launched yet but they've already made me a better pet-parent. Now certainly, "become a better pet-parent" wasn't one of my goals when I accepted the role, but I've been surprised a few times by my personal growth since I joined the team. On career goals I'll say this: to the credit of the management team at Petline, they've recognized talents and areas I where I thrive before I did. I've been given opportunities that I didn't expect and for which I am deeply grateful. Back to pet-parenting, Petline is a startup and every person at this company is heavily committed to our mission and goals. Just working alongside like-minded folks has made me consider who I am as a pet-parent. I know my pets better than I did before and I know they are happier for it. Petline won't always be a startup, but I'm confident that as we move forward it will be with integrity and the intention to foster an environment where individual strengths are recognized, and weaknesses are supported.

Cons

Petline is a startup and anyone familiar with the concept should know that it takes hard work, a lot of brainpower, and constant flexibility. It can be hard to accept and frustrating when business decisions seem to flow and change like water, but it's rewarding. It might not be for right for everyone, but when it's right, it's right.
