      Pros

      Own the Way You Work Supportive team Decent Pay/Great benefits Opportunity for Mentorship Job Rotations

      Cons

      They talk about promotions and it takes 2-3 years to happen, if ever. Very slow to hire & fill open positions Employees with bad attitudes are left unchecked Work load can be extremely heavy. Especially with some team members who don’t carry their weight.

      It’s great to see that the flexibility in how work is approached, along with supportive colleagues and strong benefits, made a positive difference. Opportunities like mentorship and internal mobility are also important parts of the experience. We understand that clarity around career paths and managing workload effectively are key, and we continue to refine how we support teams to keep the environment sustainable and rewarding.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
