Pros

Good work-life balance compared to many roles in the industry, including a standard 38-hour work week (though hours may increase during busy periods). The company offers a 6% 401(k) match and generally competitive health insurance benefits. GLP-1 medications were covered for a period of time, although that coverage was later removed, which was disappointing for some employees. The office environment is also a positive. The company operates on a hybrid schedule (two days in the office), which can be a benefit for employees who prefer flexibility, though some may see it as a drawback. The physical office space is modern, with spacious cubicles and a comfortable work environment.

Cons

Leadership turnover is a significant challenge. During my three-year tenure, I reported to six different managers, which created frequent changes in direction, expectations, and priorities. This level of turnover contributed to inconsistent training and unclear performance standards. Many underwriting systems and operational processes also feel outdated, with some core workflows relying on technology and practices that appear to be 20+ years old. This can make underwriting tasks less efficient and more manual than necessary. The culture can feel somewhat traditional and hierarchical, with management styles that may come across as overly rigid or outdated compared to more modern workplaces. Combined with frequent leadership changes, this can contribute to an environment where expectations are not always clearly communicated and employees may feel unsupported. Team morale can also vary significantly across departments, and the overall atmosphere can feel less collaborative than expected in some areas. There are also concerns among employees regarding fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in leadership decisions and compensation practices, which can impact trust in management and overall workplace culture.

Pros

It was a good company to work

Cons

Limited upward mobility for someone with a lot of ambition - probably not slow relative to the industry - but you can only move so fast.
