Pros
GNY is one of the best players in the niche markets it operates in and is currently in rapid-growth mode. The company has been expanding its geographical footprint and significantly growing its book the last few years, all while maintaining its deeply-rooted culture of underwriting discipline and financial stability. Management has done a excellent job launching the century-old company forward to be more integrated and tech-enabled. Colleagues are pleasant to work with, knowledgeable and highly team-oriented. Effort and results are recognized and there is ample room for advancement. New compensation/performance review program implemented since last year; pay has become more competitive and you are proportionately rewarded for your contributions. Student loan pay down program, 6% 401k match, DB plan, education reimbursement, solid PTO, FSA, etc. Location: If you're a city person: it's the middle of Midtown, need I say more? If you're a 9-5-Home person, location is highly accessible by PT: Grand Central/Penn are a quick 10 minute walk away. You'll also NEVER run out of food options.
Cons
- Consecutive years of double-digit growth has strained work life balance. Process optimizations & new hires have somewhat helped to alleviate this.
