Business outlook
Pros
Good work life balance. Relatively low stress environment with competitive compensation.
Cons
Politics dictate promotions - especially at the senior management and executive levels. Lack of clear and consistent strategic direction. The company changes its direction constantly and it is very difficult to keep up with the change. The company reorganizes its management and department structure constantly (especially in Insurance). Hiring choices at the managment level are often times suspect, and then the company doesn't have the guts to cut the dead weight once they've got it. They recently laid off a large number of people and did cut some of these people, but much more is necessary to truely become more efficient.
