Pros

Great job security, people rarely ever are fired or let go. Large bonuses if the company has a good year. The work is not too challenging. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Salary is around 10% lower than the industry average. The PTO is also very low compared to other companies. Very outdated operating/computer programs. Poor communication between the underwriting side and the claim handling side. Home office management is very slow to change anything at the branch level.

Pros

Pension, 37.5 hour work week, Christmas bonus, profit sharing. Some decent coworkers. Centrally located. Workload was reasonable for a long time, until they stopped staffing the office properly.

Cons

Promote people who simply are willing to move, NOT on their experience, knowledge or credentials. Good ole boys club. Managers are awkward, and are there just to fulfill a brief title requirement as they move up in the company/fast track. Managers have a severe distrust of all employees, and treat them like criminals. Company is very thrifty/cheap in all aspects from corporate travel, to every day office products or expenses. Lowest paying company in the industry. Antiquated company, always at least 5-8 years behind the curve.
