Pros

Short commute. People know the company name. I can't think of anything else.

Cons

Lotus notes still used! No investment in current technology: manual Excel spreadsheets are used in underwriting, sales, etc., which is prone to manual errors. There is no universal database or process...so you have Sales in 1 group doing work completely different from Sales in a different group. There are no consistent processes or sharing of information- each business group acts as its own independent company. The company claims they want to be modern and encourage the status quo...but once you do that you are told you are not a team player. Benefits are very expensive and there are no co-pay plans...it's all deductible (which are high).

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
