Pros

Good place for work/life balance and job security, pay is ok right out of college, benefits are okay. National insurer so if you're willing to drop anything and move it can work to your advantage if you would like to experience new horizons.

Cons

Different criteria for promotions based on title, managers get promoted within 6 months to 1 year after hire, reps go through lots of redtape at least 2 to 3 years before 1st promotion. No room for growth, if you start off as a rep very little chance of getting promoted to management. Growth curve is linear, and rather flat. Must be able to relocate in order to grow if you're a manager, like one of the other reviews states home office is very disconnected from branch level, very old school way of thinking, some senior management adds no value to company whatsoever, company stopped expanding their product line ages ago, P&C is a mature saturated market in the US as is, if you wanna grow you have to go abroad, however it may be late to the party at this point, and if you consider the increase in rates recently, the book of business is like a leaky bucket.

Pros

Short workdays...being paid to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide...nice campus....but otherwise there really isn't much positive to say about this company.

Cons

OK place to work, way too many people been there since the Louisiana Puchase. With so many people being there so long, it was really difficult to get anything done.

Pros

-Co-workers in remote branch offices tend to be very friendly. -Job is overall very easy and does not require any long hours -Job security is great, you pretty much can't get fired unless you do something obviously wrong. -My boss "Branch Manager" was a laid back person who offered wonderful flexibility. -Relocation package is top notch.

Cons

-Huge disconnect with Senior Management. These people decide where you move and what you do but they now (because branch office visits got cut down) only see you ONCE a year. They have no real clue of how "stellar" of an employee you are b/c they never even work in the same place as you. Opinions are formed during the initial training and seem to stick from there. -You are expected to drop everything and move wherever they ask which a lot of the times does not include a promotion just a lump sum check. Almost ALL their branch offices are in some sleepy suburb even though they 'label' it as the closest large city. Granted they do explain the whole moving thing when you interview and start, but most susceptible young college kids will take anything, especially in this economy. -Promotions are based almost always on a set time frame with the company. Since there is no real gauge to measure job performance, promotions seem to be based on favoritism or who bites the bullet and takes a move to somewhere. Your branch manager can put a good word in for you but ultimately it is out of their hands where you move and if you get promoted. -Don't expect to make a lot of money.
