Pros

401K AND pension. Big benefit improvement at AVP level and above. Many of the people are passionate about their work and want to do the right thing. Lots of opportunity available. You can create your own path.

Cons

For an insurance company, the health benefits are below average. No vacation for the first year if you are director level or below. Managers don't have time or desire to develop employees. Lots of great opportunities, but they won't 'show the money' for internal promotions. Raises once a year, but seem to be low. Seems like it's run more like a state agency.
