Pros

1. If you are a financial professional there is a lot of opportunities 2. Same goes for actuaries; they will train them too 3. Good employee 401k options

Cons

1. There are a lot of managers that act like it’s still 1985; micro-management is everywhere 2. The culture is very much one person covering themselves over another. Nothing gets fixed because problems are always someone else’s fault. 3. Managers are not held accountable for their mistakes or their poor leadership. 4. Unless you are a finance major, you will not get invested in as an employee for continuous learning. You’ll get referred to the online learning site and basically told “good luck”.

Pros

The people on your immediate team are great. The benefits are great. Oh and covered parking. That's about it.

Cons

The systems are ancient and infrastructure is terrible. Management focused on numbers and not quality. Family or integrity is not a core value practiced here. Less employees more work is there motto. Tons of layoffs in 2017.

Pros

Great people on my immediate team. Good vacation package.

Cons

Outdated systems and infrastructure. Management focused on numbers and not quality. Annual merit increases are 3-5 percent even for high performers. Little to no employee recognition or incentive. Monotonous work environment.
