Pros

Extremely well paid in comparison to the rest of the insurance industry. Excellent training. Quickly accrue PTO. Outstanding opportunities if you want to live in TX, AZ, GA. Better technology than most of the industry.

Cons

Lack of communication from mgmt above team manager/section manager level (i.e., from Corporate level). Ridiculous amount of hoop-jumping for using the time off you have earned. Closing 11 facilities across the country and sending jobs to Texas or Arizona. People are being asked to do more with fewer resources. The motto "consistency across the enterprise" means shoving a square peg in a round hole more often than not.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
