Pros

When people ask me where I work and what kind of company it is - I always describe RLI as a company that is the pinnacle of what you hope to reach at some point in your career. I always feel very humbled and very fortunate to have the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful and impressive organization, and work among people who are inclusive, innovative, personable and just all around good hearted people. I always say that for those of us who have worked for other companies, we have enough experience to know that it doesn't get much better than RLI, and for those of us who are lucky enough to have RLI be the very first introduction into the workforce, then again I reiterate and emphasize how lucky those employees are. At RLI you'll find purpose and value, work ethic unmatched by most elsewhere, appreciation for your efforts and commitment to the collective goals we have, and a no person's left behind kind of mentality. There truly aren't enough words to say how wonderful RLI is - we're best known for being different, and I'd say that's the most encompassing word I can use, because we break all other molds.

Cons

I truthfully don't have any specific cons. Now look, are there are always going to be things that you don't love or that bug you day to day, of course there are, but when we talk about RLI holistically I have few complaints. And for the complaints that people do have, we are an organization that does allow opportunities for those cons to be voiced, and the company makes an effort to make changes where possible. In general, RLI at it's core is a company that cares about it's employees and their well being - we're employee owned for a reason, we understand that happy employees make for a valuable business. So before you roll your eyes and say it sounds to good to be true - take those words into consideration.

Pros

RLI has a strong employee-ownership culture and a work environment where people are trusted to take ownership of what they do. The company is relatively flat, which gives employees visibility, access to leadership, and a better understanding of how their work affects the broader organization. Senior management is approachable in a way I have not experienced at other companies, and there is a real effort to listen to employee feedback through direct conversations, exit interviews, and companywide surveys. I also appreciate working with people who care about doing their jobs well and understand that their performance and conduct affect the company as a whole. For employees who are self-starters, think strategically, and take pride in their work, RLI can be a very positive place to build a career.

Cons

Because RLI is relatively flat and gives people a lot of ownership, it may not be the best fit for someone who wants a highly structured environment, frequent direction, or a clearly mapped career path at every step. Advancement and development often require self-advocacy, patience, resourcefulness, and a willingness to look for opportunities rather than waiting for them to be handed to you. That is not necessarily a negative, but it can be an adjustment depending on what type of environment someone is used to.
