Pros

Hired proven talent from successful competitors. Employees mean well. Competitive pricing. Once you get to the right person the right solution can usually be given fairly quickly.

Cons

Systems are non-existent or heavily band-aided behind the scenes. Internal workflows and barriers make it difficult to provide timely information to customers and insureds.

Pros

Greta atmosphere outside of the daily grind. Company is committed to community service. Great medical benefits.

Cons

No training program; expects employees to learn on the fly while tying their bonus directly to output/accuracy. Departments don't work well together and blame other departments for overseights/screw ups. Upper management quick to hire friends as mid-level management without proper qualifications or knowledge of employee's jobs/duties. Seems like company is planning headquarter move to Iowa from their WA location
