Pros

People treat you like family, compensation and vacation time are very generous, and almost all employees are State Farm Nice. The company promotes heavily from within, and it's easy to work your way up quickly if you are dedicated and good at what you do.

Cons

Employees are not always very driven. Company hires the best fits for its culture, not the best people at their jobs. Promotion is only from within, so you start at the bottom if you're an external hire. The company is conservative: almost all change is very slow.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
