      Great place to work... as long as salary isn't important to you

      Pros

      There is a strong culture of encouraging advancement and growth. There are always training opportunities to take advantage of, and the education allowance can make getting additional education possible (though it's through reimbursement, so it's not as simple as "free school"). Beyond that, management at every level, and especially at the higher levels, genuinely cares about the employees. The company also does a lot for the community through sponsoring events, charity drives, and encouraging employee volunteer work.

      Cons

      However, and this is a huge however, if you start out in any sort of lower level, then while you CAN move up (and can do so fairly rapidly), your salary will never match market rates because of the caps they place on raises and promotions. Salary increases, even for top performers, are capped at very low levels, and salary increases with promotions are based off of previous salary, not market rates.

      A good place to work

      Pros

      The company offers competitive compensation package and very good benefit including complementary Long Term Care insurance and pension. Typical working hours with good work and life balance. Employees are encouraged to take training. The education support program is excellent, up to $15,000 per year for eligible degree.

      Cons

      The company is not tier one insurance company, therefore, it is challenging to compete with other top tiers competitors. The employees are friendly, but not necessarily competitive or driven by excellence. Performance review was not very helpful in providing feedback or recognize top performers. People who are young and want to grow rapidly may find the company not exciting to work in.
