Pros

Flexible working hours and training isn't too bad.

Cons

Morale is at an all time low due to cut backs and redundancies. Company will pay for unnecessary flights for unnecessary meetings for managers but won't keep a low costing coffee machine for regular staff. The US parent company is considered the most important and the UK a sideline. Employees treated like children in a school environment and given no real input. Some teams given preferential treatment and others expected to cater to this. Cant emphasize enough : Stay away from this company.

Pros

We receive continuous training to stay up to date with new state regulations and market trends. My colleagues make the day go by quickly. The benefits are very reasonable. There is room for career growth if you know how to network. I appreciate their consistent push for community volunteer opportunities.

Cons

The personal lines department seems to be falling apart right now. Issues with the internal systems are resulting in underwriters doing multiple jobs and becoming a dumping ground for all agent issues even if they aren't underwriting related. I don't feel that the directors are truly expressing to the senior leadership team the impact that all these issues are having on the mental health and quality of life for the employees that are on the front lines trying to maintain a good reputation for the company. It's sad to see how quickly this department has gone downhill and the amount of quality underwriters that are jumping ship for different departments or different companies all together. What's even sadder it that no one with authority seems to care, or listen, when concerns are brought forth. I truly advise anyone considering applying for any position within the personal insurance department to hold off until things start to change - it's not worth the mental anguish that you'll experience.
