Pros

Stable company; Fairly flexible in terms of work/life balance (with the right management); Decent, comparable pay for the industry; Excellent promotion of industry education/personal development; Benefits are OK (Have seen better/worse);

Cons

Difficult to move up/out within the company if not mobile; Job positions available may not be the best fit for abilities; Have seen instances of favoritism in job selection; Company makes counterproductive decisions sometimes and is reactive as opposed to proactive (technology, agency force, claims handling); Burnout is common for claims employees with no remedy other than quitting if you cannot get your foot in the door outside of claims; Would not recommend taking a desk call center claims job based upon my experience. Very stressful job with little to no enjoyable or fulfilling moments;

Pros

time off, opportunities for advancement if mobile, training, tuition reimbursement, education support, multiple locations makes relocation to desired area more likely

Cons

The company often rests on past successes. Seems to be the "last to the party" on things like internet sales, claim systems, and technology.
