Pros
The best part of RLI is the ownership culture. Benefits like our ESOP plan have a huge effect on the attitude of all the employees. There is a strong sense of teamwork and it is common for projects to overlap multiple departments. This overlap gives employees the opportunity to learn more about the industry as well as the inner workings of the company and creates so many learning opportunities that it is impossible to take advantage of them all. Every coworker I've come into contact with has been eager to share their knowledge and offer a helping hand. It doesn't hurt that the employee parties are a blast as well.
Cons
The work environment is fairly formal, but has taken on a much more causal atmosphere since the pandemic. We recently introduced a 'dress for your day' policy which basically means employees can wear jeans as their schedule allows.
