Consistently interesting, decently-paid work

Pros

Corporate stability makes a fair sense of security in one's job. Varied and ever-changing tasks keeps your mind engaged. Generally very competent, professional immediate coworkers and management. Pay is decent, retirement package is generous. Not-for-profit mission is well-internalized by most folks. Promotions easily achievable for those who are talented and motivated -- and for those who have the right connections.

Cons

IT infrastructure more at home in 1977 than 2011, desktop and mainframe, and most unhelpful IT staff. A higher than normal amount of political intrigue. Seriously, this is an insurance company, not the court of the Byzantine Empire. Health insurance plan, ironically, is sub-par.

Pros

They have lots of money in the bank, it would take years to shut this company down, things are more stable as a result than other companies. If you can tolerate the BS, it pays the bills.

Cons

SVP's are not aligned - there is chaos at the top, many SVP's openly dislike their peers, makes life miserable for those beneath, not a good time to sign up with this company.
