Pros

Great benefits, awesome building, and great people

Cons

Con that is actually a Pro - great environment means people don't often leave, which makes it hard to move up.

Pros

Benefits plan is okay Middle management seems to care New facilities

Cons

Almost everyone on my team is in fear of losing their job. There is literally zero job security. Underwriting seems to lose an underwriter or two every other week, and the agents have noticed. Middle management seems to genuinely care, but it means little since the VP is a giant bully with zero respect from any of his subordinates. The entire organization has no trust for it's employees, which manifests itself in an endless cycle of referring work items that don't even get genuinely reviewed. The endless turnover means that workflows are managed very poorly and that results in everyone having to contribute way more work than is even necessary to adequately do the job. The company is trending down because anyone with experience has been fired or left. I've given up on making friends at work, because there is literally no point. You will not enjoy working here.
