Pros

You learn a lot when other employees leave and you are reassigned their workload. Gaining of useful work experience. You can also learn a lot about how not to manage.

Cons

There is a lack of real management knowledge at the highest level. Groupthink is prevalent and is the only way to get ahead. If you have learned knowledge and attempt to offer it, you are shunned and sometimes fired due to intimidation by insecure management. I also experienced unethical business dealings with customers and employees. Management by fear and intimidation. Managers also openly admitted disapproval of women and old folks in authoritative positions. Finally, pay not equitable amongst sexes, or for those with experiences, and benefits were old school (no flex time). Overall not a positive place or place for real growth.

Pros

They have a great meal plan and great parking

Cons

As a new recent new hire, I expected this to position to be more challenging and claims oriented. Handling captive claims is very different and difficult from the traditional way of handling claims. This captive claims position is more like a TPA and you have very little control on how to resolve the losses you are challenged with. You have very little say in how you would like to resolve difficult issues and talked down to at times by the people that are above you

Pros

Flexibility, Time off, culture and team outings, opportunities to move up and explore other careers within company. Management is great on a personal level.

Cons

Insufficient or no training on all levels, behind on communication and organization, male oriented, non diverse, corporate mindset and priorities. Not competitive with pay based on industry comparison. Low pay. I’ve had better 401k matches and health insurance is not great.
