Pros

Decent pay, sometimes you can work from home up to your mercurial manager, good annual bonus, good vacation amount and 401k. They are really trying to move to DevOps and SAFe but their culture eats good intentions for breakfast!

Cons

Inept managers, stone age IT process and stack, company controlled by inept and unmotivated Indian contractors. They don't even have a staging environment therefore the code is deployed straight to production, on the weekends with no rollback possible!!!! They put the darn production environment on maintenance mode and run QA testing there... unbelievable!! Almost all managers were contractors promoted to that role because the company's turnover of good engineers is insane, like 8-9 months. Marketing IT is run by all former Toyota Financial managers mafia hired by former CIO who quit because the only thing he was able to do is to show up on a CIO magazine cover while his IT was crumbling down (still).

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
