Pros
Despite several tough years there is a determined effort to turn the company around. The new management is driving the staff pretty hard right now, but it's likely that this effort will show results in a few more years. CNA's combined ratio still remains stubbornly high. If you see that ratio come down in the near future then the company will likely recover.
Cons
Although the business side may have a future to look forward too there is nothing beyond the horizon for the information technology group. Recently 60% of IT was laid off to make room for outsourcing companies. Management has made it clear that the rest of IT will be slowly turned over to the outsourcing companies. There is plenty of work here only no Americans need apply for it. It is also clear that IT is considered an annoying cost that needs to be reduced.
