Pros
Company was built by people who value people. Excellent work life balance, flex work, health & wellness, values based culture, community involvement, beautiful complex on golf course, full benefits package, competitive compensation, training and opportunities to learn and grow for employees. Strong brand in excess and surplus lines.
Cons
Parent company oversight and mandate for consistency has crushed this jewel of a company. Matrix reporting over used to the extent that valuable functions such as IT, Finance, Claims, HR are hamstrung to do what is right for the business. Talented leaders and associates are leaving daily for opportunities to do their best work elsewhere. IT systems behind the times. This ship is going down after 30 years of success.
