Pros
I work with a great team of people. We have a lot of fun and really care about each other. Here in Overland Park and in the other sites (Denver, Somerset, Regina, Bangalore, Milwaukee, Bangalore, etc.) I've been here for 7 years and they've really taken care of me. The benefits are great, too. My husband has a pretty serious condition and I've been amazed at how little we pay for medical insurance but how much they cover.
Cons
The company is a work in progress. Great West purchased a part of JPMorgan and Putnam a couple of years ago, and they still have a long way to go til we're smooth sailing. Hopefully no one on the outside can tell. But on the inside it feels like we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off at times. If you like projects and improvement and don't get scared by challenges but are excited by them - this would be a great place for you. If you get stressed easily and just like managing status quo - not improving things over the long haul - you should keep looking.
