Pros

Work from home. Lot’s of PTO. Great people work here. Inclusive. Team players

Cons

Management does not communicate clearly and lacks transparency. They will assure you everything is fine then lay you off. They gave an entire team one day notice that they were being eliminated when they knew for MONTHS there was an issue. They did this right before the holidays. Truly poorly handled.

Pros

Argo Group offers some of the most exciting opportunities within the insurance industry. It is always evolving and works hard to stay ahead of the curve in most every aspect. While this type of organization may not be a fit for all, it affords those that have the drive to influence change and really own something that can make a difference opportunities to succeed. If you have a great idea and want to pursue it, Argo will listen say go do it...

Cons

At times it appears that Argo doesn't know what it wants to be, so it is ever changing and lots of employees see this as uncomfortable. There have been layoffs in the past which give employees an uncomfortable feeling. But it does value great talent and will evolve their roles and find other areas for those that can make the transition to something new.

Pros

They have beautiful offices and marketing materials.

Cons

High turnover and a lot of reorganization. There's a reason why there are a lot of openings, it's because the company has no culture. No room for growth. They do not take the time to grow their current talent and would rather outsource or hire externally. There is no real investment in skills growth for the rest of the company, only for executives. Morale is low. Executives are only around now that there is a scandal involving the CEO in the news. Prior to that, there was no real effort to engage with regular employees. Even during the quarterly town hall the CEO is only present once a year. No recognition program. You will not be given any acknowledgement or recognition - another reason morale is low. No parental benefits in the US. This is standard benefit for a company of this size. No annual salary adjustment. Even if you were given a good evaluation on your annual review, unless your given a promotion, you will never get an increase. Again another standard practice for every other company. They do not recycle. The company has a lot of waste and takes no efforts to encourage recycling, paper or otherwise. They actually encourage a lot of single use plastics. They do not have good technology management. There is always something breaking and it takes them a long time to address any issues.
