Pros

Great benefits and good pay.

Cons

Leadership is just about trading offices / positions once a year. Very cliquish … if you are not part of the core group, opportunities for promotion are limited. People with 0 or extremely limited background or experience in an area are promoted to director level positions based on social interaction; particularly in DC unit. DC directors and above are clueless or stale, and they are trickling their incompetence down to field management and sales staff. Products are 2 to 3 years behind the industry with little prospect of catching up. Cultural values are frequently spoken and seldom lived.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
