      Great Organization

      Pros

      RLI was a breath of fresh air for me after years of working in a different, but related field. The organization is very community-focused, with a lot of employee perks and freedom. At first, I was surprised that it was set up this way, as I thought it would hurt the company's bottom line. However, after having more time in the company, I have found that the sense of community they foster increases productivity and engagement that more than offsets the costs.

      Cons

      I'm not in the home office, so I don't get to engage with as many of the perks as those working there do, but I love my teammates at my satellite office, so this is a minor "con" overall.
