- Excellent culture - Remote first - leadership really is trying to do the right things - innovative products that make a real difference in people's lives

Cons

- brand recognition in the ancillary space, but that is improving - doesnt hire fast enough in claims and account management - need more opportunities to increase your skills outside of sales
