Pros

8:00-4:30 work days with 1 hour lunch Stable job Good benefits and 401K, Christmas bonus, Incentive Bonus Bonuses for completing classes for designations OT available usually

Cons

-Cannot "think outside the box" - stuck in the 70s -Managment poorly trained for their positions, promoted within and thrown into the position with no training -SLOW to even THINK of providing newer software, benefits, flex time, etc. -Unless you have at least bachelors, you are not looked at or respected the same -Promotions are hap-hazard...mostly it's "time", not by merit neccessarily. ALso depends mainly on managament and if they will work hard to get you promoted. -Salary could be better -The line "doesn't transfer problems" is a complete lie. If you complain loud and long enough, you will get transferred or promoted. Not the workers who deserve these opportunities. -Pushes futher education too much, almost holds it against you if you cannot take these extra classes.

Pros

I have never had an issue taking vacation time, even if I notify my manager the morning of. Management is very accommodating when it comes to taking time off.

Cons

Mid level managers are hit or miss based on how much they care for their employees. Taking too much vacation time will count against you during your annual review.

Pros

Your fellow co-workers (not management) really could be your best friends. They never talk you down and really care if something in your life is not going right.

Cons

Management talks you down big time. This is what is bringing the company down slowly. You have a complaint? You will get the phrase: "That is your fault!" This place is stuck in the 1970's: big business attitude and no business casual dress. It is like Big Brother watching your every move...management always sneaking down the aisles to see who is working and who is not, and eavesdropping left and right. Even if there is a blizzard, if you are late even one minute, the guard will make you sign in just like if you were tardy in school. If a movie could describe this place, it would be "Office Space"...to a T. It is not worth your time...your experience here will not help you elsewhere as everything done here is out of date and little can transfer to more up-to-date insurance companies. Luckily, I found one that is up to speed with things with my skills from this place...
