Pros

Benefits as a whole are good The 401K match is excellent There is a cafeteria and a Fitness Center at the current location Positive, friendly culture

Cons

Several jobs have been outsourced to India, Slovakia and Mexico over the last few years Several of the people let go were long-time, loyal employees who were in their 50's The office in Overland Park will relocate sometime in 2018 Rumor has it that the OP office is moving to downtown KC, where very few employees actually want to go We will most likely be losing the cafeteria and Fitness Center Senior Management encourages employees to view their career as latticework (horizontal moves) but in reality it's very difficult to move to a different department Upper management has a very Euro-centric view and is unopen to suggestions from US counterparts

1) Good onboarding experience 2) Decent team dynamics 3) Supportive team manager 4) Good support from international counterparts 5) Good work life balance

Cons

1) Actuarial leadership is discouraging, incompetant and gender biased. 2) Office politics and regionalism has forced many good employees to leave the company. 3) Increase in micro-management makes team leads redundant whose opinions hardly matter.
