      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.

      Great place to work if you have a life outside of work.

      Pros

      For me, it's the work-life balance. I'm not expected to give my life to the company, and (at least in my area) there's a get your stuff done, do it well, and then go home and have a life mentality. Obviously, your mileage will vary depending on management in your area. But then there are plenty of places to move to, and they've recently made it easier to move around within the company. Compensation is fair (cost of living is low, which helps). The atmosphere is not what you'd expect--it's very laid back, casual, and friendly. Now if only they'd brighten the place up a bit and add some color... It's a great place to be if you're a family person and want opportunities to grow without burning yourself out.

      Cons

      Typical big corporation stuff: we're big and there's always red tape and paperwork involved to get anytthing done. Then there's the fact that we're a stodgy, conservative insurance company which means we're way behind the technical curve because we test the heck out of everything before implementing it. Good for stability, bad for boredom. Tools, infrastructure, and process all get in the way of development speed and make work sometimes frustrating--but these are good areas for smart people to come in and make a difference.
