Pros

Co-workers are (mostly) great, it's in a nice location

Cons

Upper management is destroying the company. This used to be a GREAT place to work, but the past 3 or 4 years has been a downward spiral of bad decisions, stripping benefits, and a management push to switch metrics for success from customer satisfaction to speed and profit. For a customer-based industry like insurance, where haw happy you make the customer is more important than how fast you get them in and out of your business, this has been a huge, destructive, change. Employee morale is underwater, and continues to slide down the drain.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
