Pros

A mutual company - layoffs and job security concerns are non existent. The company still has a traditional pension plan.

Cons

Lack of promotion opportunities, the push for everyone to become an independent contractor agent, the lack of technology adoption and the slow pace of change. Plus, the company still expects employees to relocate to anywhere in the country for any new opportunity. They are very old school and do not understand Gen X or Gen Y.

Pros

Great Salaries. My salary doubled in less then 5 years. Wide variety of job opportunities. Promotion from within is the norm. Job security. If you are willing to move, your job is very secure. There is both a pension plan and 401k. Employees are also given plenty of help with financial planning in general and retirement planning specifically.

Cons

Large company and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Middle management is not very motivated. Found it to be more difficult for women to get promoted. For instance told by my supervisor that women should be meek and demure. Company has taken steps to try to improve opportunities, but large number of old school middle managers make it difficult.
