Pros

Great benefit, Good local management. Great local team. Good underwriting discipline

Cons

Workloads mean it is essential to work much longer hours, work life balance is therefore compromised. Requirement to be in the office 3 days a week. I have never worked anywhere that so many people are stressed to breaking point

Pros

Work from home, 401k match up to 6% (plus they contribute a separate amount each year), HSA employer contributions

Cons

Work heavily depends on your manager and team. I have had many managers since I started and the culture has shifted from a small, specialty company, to more of a large corporate structure. It used to be very flat and you felt connected to upper management, now it feels more like a firm hierarchy that you have little understanding with.
