RLI reviews

Many cons: Too many hires from within, lack of managerial talent, lack of entrepreneurial spirit. RLI experiences difficulty hiring both experienced and talented staff from outside the company. Consequently in-house staffers tend to be promoted creating inertia and a somewhat inward looking, closeted culture unreceptive to external ideas. Less experienced staffers frequently held rank above more experienced staffers. Productive, external business events tended to be poorly organized with little continuity year to year while expensive/extravagant internal, less productive events such as department trips to tropical locales continued yearly with much fanfare. Management tends to be self indulgent and not supportive of local business development activities. Communication was generally poor between operational units and within operational units.

Very conservative company. Women are not promoted and do not receive the same respect and treatment that the men receive. Very little cultural diversity among the offices- very monochromatic company., especially in upper management.
