Pros

Promotes good health, offer classes for designations, lots of training webinars, peers very nice people. Great company in terms of products and coverages. Knowledgable upper management.

Cons

Very into micromanaging. Constant emails from supervisors following up on nuance. Waste time! Not worth taking vacations or any training or classes they offer during work hours, you'll return super stressed with the amount of work and emails in your inbox. No room for growth and once you reached the max of your paid grade, no more raises.

Pros

Zilch, nada, none, zero, nothing

Cons

This company is vile and evil. Never anywhere have I seen more cronyism, nepotism, and vulgarity behind the scenes: people getting promoted for who they know or who they had relations with. The place is truly a sad state of affairs! It won't matter if you saved them money, it won't matter if you got all the rate in the world, the minute you cause a rift with anyone (even if you are being professional), they will work on showing you the door. The company/office is also full of weak-minded people and overtly sensitive people. I couldn't believe how much I had to worry about something I said. Unbelievable. Management and recruiters will try to sell you that there is much opportunity for advancement. Well, if you are only good at doing your job, there isn't. You will have to brown nose like no other or sleep with someone to get anywhere. DO NOT WORK HERE! IT IS A JOKE! YOU WILL GET STUCK HERE AND IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT! Oh, by the way, I got contacted by numerous recruiters when I worked this job; they all chuckled at the fact that Philadelphia Insurance Companies is notorious for not paying well. I took the job because I needed it hoping things would change; but, all I got was my 3% salary increase DESPITE my coworkers stating in my reviews that I was a very hard worker who was also very knowledgeable and helpful.

Pros

Not really many other than the occasional extra holiday vacation day but that is real rare

Cons

This company is one who works on a japanese model, alot of productivity for the least amount of money. All management does is look at metrics like you would see at the toyota assembly line. The company was american owned but now is owned by japanese, they may have retained name but that is the only thing american. This company is beginning to fail and your seeing it with the weekluy marketing meetings, manangement is scrambling for increases on rates. The turnover rate is quite high, the only people who stay are those inexperienced but they can't keep good people. Imagine a japanese sweatshop where a car has to be assembled in 30 minutes and that is the atmosphere at philly/ Only people who succeed are those willing to backstab their co-workers. My salary in the past 8 tears has actually gone down, they make you beg for a 3% increase but dramatically raise health insurance premiums yearly.
