Pros

You will find some amazing people to work with and the environment/company is stable.

Cons

This is a hard review to write because I have really enjoyed my time here and, after working multiple other places in my 15 years had planned to retire here however, after 3 years, I am currently in the middle of 3 interviews to leave. Travelers and Alan have completely miss-handled return to office. They refuse to listen to, not just hear, their employees. They are sending gas lighting emails going "look how happy everyone is to be back" when you, in reality, wouldn't be able to find a dozen people who want to be forced in 3 days a week. The inflexible model has sent us 10 steps back in our DE&I policies, especially in equity for women and households with 2 working parents as well as sustainability. Raises this year didn't take into account inflation or RTO with parking payments and gas. And I hear horror story after horror story of managers guilting employees who want to take advantage of the meager hybrid offering. I have been so disheartened watching this company that I thought shared my values take such an old fashioned, inflexible approach that negatively impacts so many. Especially when we all have worked our tails off the past 2 years and have had excellent results. I hope they can turn it around however at this point, when people tell you who they are, you should probably listen.

Pros

Opportunities to grow with many career path options; great benefits; work-life balance; collaborative culture

Cons

Even with a couple of roles that were not a great fit, those "cons" were beneficial to my growth and knowledge of the business, positioning me for other opportunities

Pros

Everyone I work with here is great - friendly, dedicated, hard working, professional, but also fun. The company is very aware that their employees are people. They encourage us to use our time off. We have mindfulness trainings. Our medical plan includes things like 8 free therapy sessions and free visits with a lawyer for consults. Also, I genuinely get the sense that Travelers is a good company. We are encouraged to volunteer. When we do, they award us $20 for every hour of community service worked, and that money can be used to donate a charity of our choice. Then, Travelers will match the money that they already gave us. The leadership is working to be zero emissions by 2030 and I believe they will do. It's a great place to work. There are so many different business units, departments, and offices in this company that if your role isn't fulfilling you can probably find another position that will be a good fit. You are also likely to find another office in the country if you have to (or want to) move. The company is very open to people finding the right place for them.

Cons

Everyone has a very full plate. It's not an insurmountable amount of work but it will keep you very busy. We also require at least 3 days per week in office in my region, but honestly, it's nice to back in an office with people. You will likely pay more for benefits here but they have different plans depending on what you're looking for.
