Pros

Work and Family Balance is good. A new employee is given 17-20 PTO days based on position. Usually a new employee will get to travel to Chicago for a weeks worth of training. Everyone is generally treated with dignity and respect.

Cons

Everything is based on seniority, if you don't have seniority, you won't be able to use your vacation days when you want them. You basically get leftovers. The claims count is extremely high and if your contacts aren't made in a timely fashion, you'll get a "fair" annual performance review and hardly no pay raise. The extremely high claims count makes it almost impossible to hit numbers. There isn't any training on how to handle extremely high workloads, you're just expected to do it.

Pros

Great training, rotational program, large organization with many opportunities. Many social groups after hours. Little pressure on actuarial students to perform...outside of passing exams.

Cons

Pay is terrible, very much a military culture, orders come from top and are executed. Little freedom for Product or State managers to try new ideas. Company is too conscerned about short term profits. You have to be in with the right people to have a chance at getting promoted to senior levels. They don't pay for performance.

Pros

Name recognition and good advertising

Cons

Management is not concerned with owners who have taken all the risks. Their interest are only in their personal compensation.
