Pros

It offers a paycheck. Opportunities are available if you smooze your manager or get in good with upper management.

Cons

Management keeps employees in the dark during most major issues. Most issues are handled where bs goes downhill so even if you bring up issues, it becomes a more serious problem you have to deal with in the future instead of looking for ways to correct the problems.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, generally they leave me alone to do the job.

Cons

Terrible claims information systems. Functional areas stuck in silos with little motivation to share information. People can't seem to stay in a job title for long. Lay off the United Way stuff. I give plenty to charities of MY choosing. EC Sales teams are pathetic in their knowledge and awareness of commercial lines products and functional areas. Waste of space really. IC people are much more in tune with commercial lines products and services and are more competent.

Pros

Decent Benefits. Good People. Great Team Environment where people were willing to help each other. Most of the employees were good at their jobs.

Cons

The company micromanages to the point where it is counterproductive. The performance reviews are a joke. No one ever gets exceeds, even the people who really, really deserve it.
