Pros

Interstates truly does have employees who care a lot about each other and the success of the business.

Cons

The expectation at Interstates is to work 50+ hours a week for a salary that is not competitive with the industry. A quick walk through of the office and it will become clear that almost everyone there is a middle class white man with little to no exceptions. Although this is a public company upper management (and coworkers) push their religious beliefs on every employee. This has led to many uncomfortable meetings and events.

Pros

Flexibility Awesome People Culture Development Job Security Work Life Balance

Cons

Don't have many at this time other than sitting at a desk all day can be tough. However we have a extremely nice office space so there are tons of opportunities to switch up the scenery and its nice to be able to go on walks around the building to take a break!

Pros

Strong family culture and people genuinely care about each other and enjoy working together, even in a high stress environment Leadership is very accessible and down to earth; no “elite” feel, and leaders regularly engage with employees at all levels Opportunities for internal growth and career progression is real for those who perform and take ownership High level of trust and autonomy in roles, especially in leadership positions Flexible work environment when possible; leadership understands real life needs while still supporting field teams

Cons

Company wide standards and pace of change can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing regional needs and multiple sources of information
