Pros

This is a good company to work for and gain experience in the insurance industry. They are the leader in home and auto sales so there are many different areas to work in. Lots of room for advancement if willing to relocate to different areas of the country. Great co-workers on the cat team. Management is fairly easy to work with and understanding of your needs.

Cons

Upper management not listening to the needs of the cat team. When workload is heavy, not much consideration given for time off or # of days worked. Changes made without input from cat team members. Pay not up to par with other company catastrophe teams.

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
