Pros

None.... seriously, they took a great E&S underwriting platform and within 3 year drove away 15 underwriters by inflicting their God awful management style and workplace culture on us.

Cons

Cheap & Frugal. Senior UW and it took them 11 months to approve a laptop to replace my 10 year old laptop that froze up b/c it wasn't built to run the software used by company. They lost 10 to 15 hours of productive after hours work over a $529 laptop. Second year after they bought us, they changed bonus calculation without communicating with underwriters. Result? Bonuses paid later than previous years and we all saw 55% reductions - - Like Chevy Chase getting the Jelly of the Month in Christmas Vacation. Everyone walks on eggs. Like a morgue

Pros

Great clients and fellow employees. Company HR always try to improve employee life. Open minded about flex time and remote working.

Cons

Management is poor at communication and don’t seem to be in touch with the employees working directly with the clients. The economy is great right now so if a company is laying people off there is a problem with how things are being done. If the management isn’t interested in competing in the marketplace then get out. (These comments are specific to certain to the department where I worked that was geographically based on the West Coast)
