Pros

Benefits, PTO, Sick pay, and bonuses. Some staff are great and willing to help out with work. Safe and secure building.

Cons

Poor management in claims and their other fellow employees. Some employees aren't fired even after making rude racist remarks. They let that pass by even with HR. Work is not distributed evenly upon employees.
