Cons
Miserable, toxic, regimented place to work. In recent years trended this direction. Now it is much worse. Corporate office recently changed job responsibilities for Account Managers and Underwriters in a project called "RACI". The result is lopsided heavy workload dumped on underwriters understaffed with qualified people. Underwriters are being set up to fail unless willing to work 60-80 hours per week and make one's personal life secondary to all else. AM's are being turned into "Account Executives" and will lose most underwriting skills. Underwriters now have a dead-end career path. There are numerous co-workers with huge egos that jockey for position and favor. They love to hear themselves talk in meetings. Since promotions are based on favortism and nepotism who can blame them. Management keeps a matrix of all employees and their potential for advancement. If you are in the wrong square on the matrix you are stigmatized.
