      Pros

      The Richfield building offers free parking and is not in a high traffic area. They also throw two large parties a year with free drinks and food.

      Cons

      The company does not promote women often. They are still a hard copy/paper company that refuses to make the switch to the current times. They also cover up legal problems rather than solving them and taking a hit for it. Very unprofessional and dated company.

      Pros

      -Some really great co-workers -Awesome parties and socials -Great health insurance if you're single -Lots of responsibility for most entry level jobs -CEO still tries to treat it like a smaller company and give personal touches. Does a lunch with new hire groups and one-on-one meetings. Signs your birthday cards too. If you're looking for experience, NATL is a good place to start. There's always openings and you get a chance to do some things early in your career. I was maintaining a $7M book of business within a year.

      Cons

      -Boy's club -Favoritism rules -Low pay, no flexibility at all, terrible benefits (401k, vacation time) -No value to employees -Complaints to HR get right back to the managers or source of the problem. No real confidentiality. -Terrible technology They treat employees like worker bees and commodities. Hire them for cheap out of college, then they leave 2-5 years later for 15-20% pay raises. It's a revolving door which makes real business impossible. Brokers and agents don't trust them enough because there's no relationship. Had to travel and put things on my own credit card because there wasn't a corporate card given out. Take a red eye back home after working in CA over a weekend and ask your boss to come in at 11am after a nap...oh you have to take PTO for that.

      Pros

      Its a paycheck. Nice cafeteria. Nice Campus setting.

      Cons

      not many trust worthy people though they flaunt a "Forbes Magazine" report naming them so, high turnover, always lots of vacancies, industry higher than average loss-ratio, they're losing money due to high claims incurred in 2013 and 2014, they're not only not writing new business but non-renewing lots of business and blaming their competitors as being "irresponsible" for doing so.
