Pros

- Several of the people on my team and in my office were very helpful and kind when I needed help. - Had nice snacks and parties for fellow employees.

Cons

- Poor compensation (only pay you for 37.5 hours/week, which is touted as a pro since you 'only' have 37.5 hour work weeks, but in reality you're expected to work much more). - Training is poor: I was released from training far too soon, before I fully understood what I was supposed to be doing. Guidelines didn't exist for many situations, and even if said guidelines did exist, you were sometimes expected to find work arounds. My trainer literally came over and yelled at me when I was asking for help. If a trainee is struggling, help them, don't make them afraid to come to you for help. - Work load is too heavy. One of my fellow underwriters literally cried from stress and being overworked and the managers, who were sitting right in front of us, basically said 'that sucks. anyway...'. No care for the mental health of your employees. - Under-staffing is a constant issue.

Pros

Easy job to do if you’re halfway smart and actually try.

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies. Raise your concerns with this or anything else and management basically blackballs you for any opportunity for growth. You can do twice as much work as some of your co-workers and still get the same measly 3% annual raise. You’re better off coasting through the job rather than giving 100% effort. The harder you work, the more responsibilities they give you without any monetary compensation.
