Pros

Great place to work, decent benefits and great people.

Cons

Progression up the management ladder can be hindered by politics. It is often who you know and not what you bring to the table.

Pros

- world-class work-life balance policies (depending on managers) - good amenities onsite (2 TT tables, 2 foosball tables, Xbox room every floor, onsite gym & basketball court, plenty of walking trails) - management by-in-large are all very empowering - transition to NC is almost completed, if you are in IT, it's best to work in Cary, NC. best-in-class workplace - smart people all around! HR & site leadership did a great job attracting the best and brightest in the RTP area

Cons

- healthcare coverage does not start from Day 1 - fairly expensive onsite gym membership - benefits like 401K & IRA doesn't kick in till 1 yr of service - hard to get a corporate title promotion

Pros

Flexible hours, reasonable vacation time,

Cons

The claims department run by people that lack of common sense. Its very political, they work people to death and micro manage. I worked there for 8 years. The company was good when I first started there, then it went to be hell. I started working there, there were 300 people in the office, management was so bad, that the office ended up closing and most people rather take a severance than stay there... I left and I am so glad that I did... my poor friends that stayed there, they are miserable...
