Pros

Stable company; Fairly flexible in terms of work/life balance (with the right management); Decent, comparable pay for the industry; Excellent promotion of industry education/personal development; Benefits are OK (Have seen better/worse);

Cons

Difficult to move up/out within the company if not mobile; Job positions available may not be the best fit for abilities; Have seen instances of favoritism in job selection; Company makes counterproductive decisions sometimes and is reactive as opposed to proactive (technology, agency force, claims handling); Burnout is common for claims employees with no remedy other than quitting if you cannot get your foot in the door outside of claims; Would not recommend taking a desk call center claims job based upon my experience. Very stressful job with little to no enjoyable or fulfilling moments;

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
