Pros

Profit sharing and health insurance

Cons

This program offers fresh out of college people a management development role- after a year or two you supervise a call center team- the employees don't respect the mdps- since they think we get 'moved through' too quickly and the pay isn't worth all that the actual managers expect. I have had peers leave the company for much better management opportunities where you actually make money and don't have a crazy workload.

Pros

1) Stability -- owned by Warren Buffet 2) Profit Sharing Plan is good 3) Able to move up quickly -- there is a management leadership program 4) Clearly, their marketing and product modeling strategies are very good, so the number of policy holders increase every year (more profit every year)

Cons

1) No one on the IT leadership side really has a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished and where IT is going in the future. This makes it hard to communicate the vision down to the rest of the team members. 2) Dependability Ratings -- if you are late to work or need to take a sick day, it counts against your "rating". Need a rating of 97% dependability to do well at Performance Review time. Otherwise, you risk potentially being terminated. 3) Sick Leave policy -- you must tell your manager 24 hours in advance if you are going to be sick. Otherwise it counts against your rating. (side note: How would you even know that?? Sometimes people get sick the night before or morning of work). 4) Benefits: o Vacation doesnt kick in til after 6 months o Not eligible for Profit Sharing Plan til 1 year after hire date o Medical / Dental / Vision doesnt kick in for 75 days 5) Co-workers are nice, but not tech savvy for IT technical positions 6) No WFH / Telecommuting

Pros

Training Pay Advancement opportunity if willing to move. Best Medical Insurance

Cons

They expect more from you than is possible. you can never satisfy them with the number of claims you close. They are focused strictly on the numbers. You must write all estimate low and cheat the customer to satisfy management. They expect you to work 50 + hours a week for 40 hrs pay.
