Pros

Opportunities for personal growth, including training, to further one's career and marketability. Traditional financial services company with a long history of protecting his insureds.

Cons

The environment is very political with promotions based on who you know and answer "yes" to vs. what you know and your contributions. Decisions are made very slowly, and the culture is not conducive to positive change.

Pros

Nice people. Leaders in several insurance lines. Flexible hours. Can come in early and leave early or come in late and leave late.

Cons

Slow at changing. Projects take forever to finish. Horrible data infrastructure. Way too much time wasted on finding the information that you need.

Pros

While it's certainly debatable about the competency of senior management, local management is generally above average. The people are professional and very friendly. Salary and paid time off is very competitive.

Cons

Communication from mangement is not the best, but it is improving. Sales call requirements for underwriters are fairly high. Workload is higher than average.
