Pros

Its great if your mom, dad, aunt or uncle work there. You do get free lunch in the "dining room" but that gets old fast. They used to have a pretty good pension plan but it is being phased out - new associates are stuck with a 401k and small match.

Cons

CFC has a lack of career opportunities, pay raises that don't keep up with inflation and almost no training budget. The IT department just implemented a goofy organization structure in IT where I report to a service manager, resource manager and project manager. CFC is very slow to adopt any new technology - upgrades take place when the vendors stop supporting the software. Nepotism is rampant at CFC so don't be surprised if certain people move ahead faster than others for no apparent reason.

Pros

CFC has a well-recognized name in P&C insurance, especially throughout the Midwest region. Its strengths in prior years was their commitment, first & foremost, to agents and insureds, as well as sound underwriting & business practices. Lots of opportunities to advance in the home office in Cincinnati or in any of the field locations. Field reps (e.g. state sales reps or claims handlers) work from their homes in their assigned territories.

Cons

Employees often viewed by middle and upper management as expendable resources, whereas in the past they were seen as valued resources. Sense of belonging/worth for most employees decreasing over the last few years. Perception that employees will be "downsized" more prevalent than in recent years. CFC has gone from a very good regional carrier to a "wannabe" national carrier, losing those small-business attributes that distinguished itself in the early years and becoming very similar to those competitors that were CFC's typical rivals.
