Pros

- Large multi-year legacy replacement projects underway for both Commercial Lines and Personal Lines systems - Potential for growth opportunities after 5-8 years (unless retirements occur earlier)

Cons

- Slow painful grind to move beyond your first promotion ( can be upwards of 8 years) unless you are lucky/skilled enough to ride some ones coat-tails. - Majority of management is young and will be with the company for a number of years until they can either Jove up or retirements open positions for them or they get sick of waiting and just leave - Most positions vacated by retirements are not restaffed - Upper management places a lot of stock in the community, meaning they know you don't have options elsewhere in central Wisconsin, so they don't think disgruntled/disillusioned folks are likely to leave - Career advancement appears to be on 5-8 year cycles and only and handful occur if you are lucky
