      Pros

      * Great bonus opportunities; ESOP is a difference maker *Autonomy to pursue risks you want to write *Leaders willing to listen when you want to "get creative" *Teammates want to help *Best Quoting System in the industry

      Cons

      If you don't believe in being part of a team; if you don't like making money; if you want to sit at your house and simply handle a renewal book; if you like your bosses to tell you what to do, this is not the place for you.

      Pros

      - Leaders are approachable and very caring - The core values are truly upheld, especially Employee appreciation/recognition - There are so many opportunities within the organization to get involved in. They encourage all employees to look for opportunities to implement new tools & technologies. - Learning is huge at RLI, which is amazing as they invest in their employees, other companies I've worked at only approved courses that are relevant to your job.

      Cons

      - The company drastically grew in the past few years so there are still some growing pains, which is common. - The company has very smart people but unfortunately a lot of folks with historical knowledge of processes/systems are gone with limited documentation left for those that are still at the company. I am sure we will figure out how to bridge this gap soon.
