Pros

Good salary, really lax atmosphere, lots of potential OT. They monitor every little thing you do. However, since its such a big company...you are just a number so its easy to stay under the radar if you try. This could be a good and/or bad thing.

Cons

Way too many lazy people. Dealing with other peoples errors gets old real quick. Very poorly run diary system, if you've worked claims you'd understand. Definitely need at least a Bachelor's degree to get a good wage. After that, they want add'l certifications ala CPCU especially. You won't advance unless you have continued education.

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
