Pros

They recognize that innovation is the key to growth. The benefits are very good. One of the only companies still providing a pension. Culture based on family and teamwork.

Cons

They are currently faced with the possibility of obsolescence as technology sweeps through the automotive industry that could render traditional auto insurance carriers extinct. Because of its large size it can feel very slow to change.

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
