Pros
Great benefits and work life balance, a company with a fantastic moral compass.
Cons
Salary is usually on the low end of what you would expect. The type of people that work here are completely stagnant for the most part. It is not a place for innovation. The 'innovators' at this company really lack true understanding of what they are trying to accomplish. If you want a company that can advance your skill sets this is not the company to work for. Most of the people that work here are "lifers" because...

Invest in actually qualified and competent leaders with a proven track record outside of the company. There are so many managers leading technical positions that are not even remotely qualified, to the point they don't even know how to properly hire qualified people. Much of middle...

Cons
- Outside of getting into Claims & Underwriting, I find it hard to grow internally and get into the departments that I want to get into - Micromanaging - Direction is not always aligned amongst departments/supervisors, so you will often hear one thing from one supervisor and something that contradicts that from another - Sometimes found there was a "boys club" mentality which resulted in preferential treatment/favoritism/hints...
