Pros

Financially sound organization;health benefits are on par with most carriers.

Cons

Poor leadership in most branch offices, regional VPs, and HO is trying to run the company as they would in Australia. US has a very different business style for dealing with customers and employees. Presently there are so many conflicting messages emanating from managers to staff; it is unbelievable. For a company that keeps sending the messages that it wants to be the employer of choice; the actions would not support that mantra. There is much micro-managing taking place adding to employee stress;, vacation days have been reduced; position levels were recently restructured with a broad group at a lowered level; company holidays have been reduced little by little.

Pros

Company has culture of promotions. It's a worldwide company so there are many different roles you can choose from.

Cons

Getting promoted isn't always a clear path. Middle management is quite busy, which hinders function down line.
