Pros

Company has been striving to regain an edge in the industry. The people were wonderful to work with and overall they took extremely good care of their employees. Their mission and vision execution, once it was made clear, was moving in the right direction.

Cons

A little too late. The company was very conservative in all facets of operation. From a fiscal standpoint, this is great, but it hindered the company's ability to adjust to a quickly evolving industry. Technologically advancing systems and products to meet market change lacked, making internal expense costs high. This resulted in lagging investments in much needed advertising and employee enhancement programs. A change in Sr Management prompted some extreme measures, although necessary, but probably should have taken place long beforehand and at a slightly slower pace.

Pros

The majority of people in the home office are great to work with. One office specifically in Shorewood, IL was great to work for.

Cons

There is very little training or support when brining in new CSR's. There seemed to be a "sink or swim" atmosphere. The agents are not trained very well in the technology or even some of the policy forms. Also, no upward mobility when working as a CSR with this company unless a sales manager assistant position happens to open up.

Pros

The company truly cares for their clients, and has great values. They understand that life is more than just our jobs, while still having high expectations of their employees.

Cons

Some would say the location is a negative, being located in central IL, but it is a great place to live and work!
