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
