Pros

Interesting work and exposure to significant changes going on within the housing industry. Company offers good salary and benefits, interesting work, and some great people to work with.

Cons

In recent years, it has been subject to constant change and there's been a revolving door at all levels. Work-life balance has become untenable. Workload is such that there is no way to be able to do a quality job, and staff is then blamed for the result. Many people managers have little in the way of management skill. Careers and promotions are based on office politics rather than skill and competence.

Pros

Competent employees. Good benefits. It's interesting work and I enjoyed my time in the underwriting area (5 years). There are opportunities to learn new skills should you want to take advantage of them.

Cons

Lots of infighting and turf wars. This distracts from focusing the business on the market. Ongoing systems upgrades/improvements continue to hold them back.
