Pros

The company offers competitive pay, a generous bonus structure and competitive benefits. The office is very well designed and furnished with comfortable work spaces and an amazing lunch room.

Cons

If work - life balance is important, it is not a good place to work. Work volume is unreasonable and unmanageable due to inferior and antiquated technology and poor work flow processes. The technical staff is burdened with excessive nonsensical clerical duties. Remote reporting is available but not flexible.

Pros

Management was supportive of long term career goals and educational objectives. Benefits were top notch.

Cons

Work life balance is not really there; workload is very high - expect 50+ hours a week; salary/raises are not equivalent to skills and workload and bonuses are far less than promised by recruiters.

Pros

Visibility to senior management. Exposure to many departments/business lines. Variety in the type of work assigned.

Cons

Hired from another insurance company with promises of being able to bring new ideas and processes to the table. However, on day 1 was told to leave those things at the door. Never fully accepted as one of the team and still considered "Not Selective" after four years. Work/Life balance was touted by upper management, but direct supervisor was opposed to any level flexibility. Hours are 8 - 4, but leaving at 4 branded you a slacker or not busy enough. Work from home days were actively discouraged at all levels of management. Average work week was 60+ hours, with no recognition or appreciation of that time. HR was a joke, protecting the "lifers" and helping promote a hostile work environment. Salary and bonuses were significantly less than competitor pay packages.
