Pros

Global company that places high emphasis on exploring different areas of the company through local/regional/international rotations. This company has a wealth of knowledge and is really trying to figure out how to disseminate knowledge. Though at some times the processes can be cumbersome they are investing lots of money in improving their internal systems. Ironically, it seems like the best systems at SR are the ones designed internally versus purchased from a third party vendor. The pay is competitive and the bonus is larger here than any other large insurance carrier (15-30% of annual salary). The benefits, 6% match and 6% contribution are great! You have the option of a high deductible plan with company HSA contribution or a traditional plan. Long story short, this is a company worth being at. Currently the commercial insurance market is a difficult environment but SR is navigating the seas better than most while still taking care of their employees both internationally and in the US.

Cons

Seriously, it's a great place to work. They're flexible with hours, working from home, etc. the only complaint is that change is constant at SR. sometimes if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
