Pros

It is located in a fantastic location -- downtown Chicago. There are many opportunities to move around the various different areas within the company. If you want to "cruise", you can lay low and never be noticed. If you want to "move up", you can easily find ways to be recognized and move ahead.

Cons

There was very poor morale when I was there. Management was poor in communication.

Pros

Home office is centrally located.

Cons

Too many levels of approval. Management feedback sucks. Their recognition program is stupid. In my experience, showing someone how to do a vlookup in excel is worth more to your performance then building a template to eliminate the jobs of 10 people. I feel like you have to limit your productivity instead of trying to put your all in everything you do.

Pros

There were some really dedicated professional people working at CNA.

Cons

CNA was a large bureaucratic company and there was so much redundancy in terms of process and need for approval in decisionmaking at least while I was there. Rather than going ahead and being able to make a decision, you'd have to go to two people and their supervisor. The people who spent 75% of their time working and 25% talking about what they did seemed to get more recognition than those who spent 100% of their time doing their job. Because there were so many locations, you seemed insignificant.
