Pros

Regular pay. Decent benefits. Small but real chance to work from home, but limited mostly to trailing military spouses.

Cons

Reactionary management culture has no vision except hitting current month numbers. Does not recognize employee potential, even military experience. Management threatens consequences if employees don't rank company highly in surveys. Approach to quality is to blame individual contributors rather than prevent errors. Kool-aid culture demands saying everything is perfect and channels constructive, innovative ideas away to die. Top-heavy management hierarchy.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
