Pros

Company stability, reasonable benefits package, ethical workplace (always do what's right for the policyholders), safe workplace, company holidays off with pay.

Cons

Lots of money is being spent on outside consultants to tell us how to change, but all of the changes we're implementing are ideas the employees came up with.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
