Pros

Normal health benefits, great PTO (if you stay for more than 5 years), 401K (matched), very good bonus program (especially for supervisors and above), normal raises (about 3%) a year. Promotional opportunities for those willing to prioritize work over all other areas of life. However, if you did not come in a VP, there’s a 95% chance you will not make VP. But at this place, believe me, you don’t want to be a VP.

Cons

The workload is not sustainable. The people in their home office are over-rated and over-indulged (formally - in the salary structure) and would never make it at any of the large carriers. The computer systems are not well managed and antiquated (especially in claims). The EVP level of management are clearly not being psych tested. Diversity at the management level is questionable. They routinely terminate VPs creating a circus of instability. I was once told by someone in senior management that the company knowingly understaffs certain parts of the company. This company is quick to fire and lay off large departments and transfer the work to other parts of the country that are more economically favorable to their bottom line. And that is the point, if you choose to work here, remember to get what you need from them before it is the other way around. When I look back at my years at this company, I wished I had left sooner. Sometimes the grass really is greener.
