Pros

Telecommuting flexibility, depending on department in home office; ability to move around within organization - held 4 different positions in 8 year tenure; generous tuition reimbursement, ability to pursue certifications; conservative culture from compliance perspective; decent severance package during layoff of 2009 (60 days notice for termination plus 2 weeks for every year served)

Cons

Political infighting and departmental turf wars were common; rigid corporate culture, must adapt or get pushed out; slow-moving organization due to large size; projects got killed frequently, must be able to roll with punches and not take it personally

Pros

None. It was a very low paying job, the employees in the claims department seemed like glum, disgruntled robots. The management was incredibly bad. There were four people in each cubicle so you got to touch elbows with others in your cubicle, and were forced to hear their endless pathetic complaining all day, every day...Plus they had a "posture lady" whose job it was to walk around and complain and rant about anyone she perceived had bad posture! Unbelievable, but true!!!

Cons

Poorly trained, inflexible ,not so bright,psychotic management. My manager was an expert in gaslighting, and has lawsuits pending against her regarding her abhorrent behavior.
