Pros

Nice benefits, average salary, vast possibility to growth within different departments

Cons

Mid management and Team leaders in Business Services not able to create team environment, not able to lead by example, not able to balance work and personal life of employees. Hiring decisions questionable. Old-school company, slow to change; will be eaten by more flexible and fast companies

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.
