Pros

Discount program. Benefits are okay but not great.

Cons

Lowest paying insurance company(although is the most profitable...go figure). Extreme micro managing. Promotions are based on tenure instead of skill. Management is more focused on growing good call center employees instead of good claims adjusters. Company is losing money - they've shut down multiple large hubs in the past year, outlook is not good - this also means lots of restructuring and cutting jobs/laying off employees.

Educational benefits are offered, but often denied as not being "useful" to your role.

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
