Pros

Flexible schedules, team environment, decent pay and bonuses, company and employees interested in community giving and activities. For the most part I have found enjoyment in much of my time with this company in previous years. Expansion of business in other parts of the world is a great move.

Cons

Lots of knowledge lost in repeated waves of layoffs combined with repeated waves of outsourcing to a series of companies that brought in non US workers. The current plan is relocating to NC, but many of those that are left are not moving to NC. It does not seem like the employees are valued. The current attitude seems to be use them up / spit them out.....after all, we can hire more.

Pros

Family friendly, good benefits. A lot of opportunities to move around. An insurance company is not a technology start up, and it is a behemoth, it takes time to implement change.

Cons

Saw great talent leave because of fiefdoms. Very few women in upper management.
