Pros

Excellent benefits. Very good work/life balance kind of place. Dedicated, professional workforce that takes great pride in products and services offered. Lots of resources, technology, commitment to investing in business. Online training and development opportunities for employees. Very pleasant office building. Convenient location.

Cons

The dual headquarters part with Kansas City seemed problematic at times. Lots of competing business units. Can feel like you are working all the time - not unusual to get e-mails at evenings or weekends.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
