      Pros

      One of few companies that still offers pension, employee owned. The company did make one of the best places to work in STL. Lot of long term employees.

      Cons

      No 401k available. Behind the times, & other companies in the same field. The offices are outdated.

      Pros

      -The non insurance benefits are great, -90% of the customers are great. -The other employees are great, family like atmosphere most of the time.

      Cons

      -managers have too much control, micro manage, -if you have a problem HR will directly tell the person involved to create an awkward working environment, not resolving issues. -insurance barely covered anything -some policies strictly enforced, lenient on other policies -no place for advancement -forced into positions you don't want, and isn't advancement. -pay is embarassing
