Lip Service Only, Aimless without "consultants".

Pros

Diversity. 401k, but Shelter Insurance hasn't matched the last 4 years.

Cons

Too many chiefs (expanding in many levels of management). As other reviews have stated, just because a person's been around for a while, in no way makes that person the appropriate choice for management. The reliance on outside consultants is egregious, and has only become worse over the last few years. Hiring of any of these "consultants" into management, especially senior leadership, makes absolutely no sense - especially when it forces others out. Lose knowledge, depend on strangers. Good plan! No distinguishing performance or rewards by subsidiary companies (except for senior management). Many forced to be in the office to handle archaic manual/paper processes. Slowly shifting medical cost to employees. Pension completely eliminated! Read: benefits decreasing dramatically, pay is never inflation adjusted and still lags behind competition.

Pros

Friendly people, culture of caring, relaxed atmosphere, work life balance and affordable insurance

Cons

Be careful where you start, hard to move unless you are friends or family. Pockets of bad management, and poor training. Benefits are great for long term folks, just ok for new hires. Pay is behind

Pros

Freedom to run your own office. Company provided training

Cons

Not so much guidance but more pushed to sell, sell, sell. I was more worried about trying to sell the next life insurance policy so I could keep my job. Rather than service the existing clients on the book that have been there for years.
