Pros

Exposure to commercial insurance, which can open doors at far superior, reputable insurance companies in the area.

Cons

**Disclaimer: I am writing this review because I have seen several claims job postings online for this company recently and I want to save somebody from making the horrid mistake of working here.** Basically everything about working here is a con. Do not let the flashy new building or the parties fool you. I put in several years of blood, sweat, and tears working here with the hope that “things would get better”, but that never happened—if anything, things only got worse with time. I was one of the most tenured employees in the department after working there for 3 years...that alone should say enough. Upper management is absolutely atrocious and are all out to stab each other in the back so they can advance. Morale amongst individual contributors is insanely low and most everyone is miserable. The pay compared to other commercial insurance positions in the area is horrendously low. The yearly “bonus” program is a joke. The health benefits are terrible. There is no room for advancement here unless you are in the boys’ club. Transparency is nonexistent. Turnover is an understatement and most people do not last here very long (I can think of several occasions where employees jumped ship within less than a year of employment). Lastly, there is absolutely ZERO diversity here so if you fall within a monitory group—forget it! Leaving this company was the absolute best career move I have ever made. Unless you want to use this company to gain some experience and then leave, please do not waste your time or energy with this company—you will absolutely regret it, I promise you. I hope this review helps somebody who is considering applying here.

Pros

- Benefits are great. Pay and PTO are above market compared to other companies. I started with 19 days of PTO per year and a higher salary than my counterparts at other companies. - Covid caused work from home. I am working from home full time and it is so nice. I can wear comfortable clothes, don't have to commute, and I'm saving money too. - I haven't felt like I've been asked to do anything that I don't know how to do. There are no unreasonable expectations and management seems pretty nice too! - Promotions are happening like crazy. My team's problem is they can't keep any underwriters around because they keep getting promoted.

Cons

- 401(k) is below market value. We only get a 4.5% match while I have friends getting a 6% match. - National Interstate is a relatively small company and is owned by Great American Insurance Group. I feel like Great American is the big brother and Natl has a bad connotation. - Insurance work can get boring. Pretty quick.
