Pros

-There is diversity -Free parking provided

Cons

-Too many changes and layoffs within actuarial -Too much politics making it very hard for non ALDPs to move around and develop themselves as encouraged by the company -Be careful about which actuarial team you join as some don’t really care about your development as an actuary. You’ll only be working as a robot and not knowing what’s going on with the results as you’ll not be taught to do so. - Why you keep hiring new actuaries while laying off many of them? I feel like this is hypocritical.

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.
