Pros

Company has good benefits - particularly for long-term employee's.

Cons

I was at Transamerica for for more than 12 years. The technology (IT) group has gone through so many changes and reorgs and then they decided to outsource most of their development staff and anyone in a technical role. In one of the recent reorgs while i was still there they removed all the technology leadership from the CTO on down and replaced the leadership from within the company from small division they had in the Northeast. The leadership in this group is clueless and worse, have that Northeastern attitude that includes using the "F" word in every sentence and such HUGE egos it is astounding. Very unprofessional and small-ship minded. Everyone walks on eggshells around them. They are convinced of their superiority. With this group, you only progress in your career or get promoted if you are buddies with someone high in the food chain. Very political climate.

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
