Pros

Unlimited opportunity if sacrifices are willing to be made - relocation/work hard. Great benefits - agency and operations Very close culture - very small-feeling large corporation It's nice to work for the largest/the best in a particular industry Mentoring Opportunities Fair pay structure on operations side Agency culture is the envy of the industry - the very best Diversity among employees

Cons

Technology lags and can be limiting - a "big ship to turn" they tell us Managers often have trouble being leaders rather than managing Very conservative overall - not a bad thing perhaps a bit naive in some way. Slow to change but it's getting better Company is slow to respond to demands of society - to recognize them

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
