Pros

Loyalty, most people stay in the company for 10+ years. Secondly, tons of trust in terms that leadership is open about financials and how the company is heading in the future. Very stable, so great if you have kids and worried about recessions. Can work remote, but only within the US. So can't work internationally due to laws and security. However PTO is above average compared to other companies.

Cons

Mutual company, so not public. There is no stock options. They used to have a very generous pension program that ended in 2021 that has since then been replaced by a boosted 401K to be more competitive with other companies.

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
