Pros

Their commercials and maybe the cafeteria in Des Moines.

Cons

Young management with little or no experience in the jobs they manage. Claim authority for field reps is ridiculous. Those who came up with the Farmer From Illinois should stay away. It's like going back in time. They are making all of mistakes we resolved 10-15 years ago. No in-office claim reps. Hourly workers that blindly pay from contractor's estimate. I'm so disappointed with all my experience I walked into this nightmare. Big Red alum stay away. I took it as a way off Cat Services. There's a reason all those jobs are open. It's a joke.

Room for advancement outside CRE, great culture overall the work life balance is great. Pay and benefits are competitive. Nationwide as a whole has a fantastic Culture, however not all departments are equal.

Pros

-For the most part, the people you work with are good people. Made real lifelong friends and mentors. -As with all large companies, there are plenty of opportunities to advance and/or move around if something isn't a good fit. -One of the rare places still offering a pention

Cons

-Office politics promote plenty of people who don't deserve it and the teams happiness is highly dependent upon who you end up reporting to -WAY too much false urgency created by bad leaders -Big company means slow moving in all the stuff you want to go fast. Often times too many cooks in the kitchen
