Pros

Coworkers ; nothing more. New model completely lost good neighbor philosophy. Policyholders leaving -see all important JD Powers report -this is where numbers get to them. 3 out of 5 is "average" -internal surveys show much high customer satisfaction (80%) -hmmmm. They do use favorable math figures to misguide. Thats a pro if you drink the kool aid.

Cons

Just declared a nationwide non-weather catastrophe for total loss claims. Really. Completely messed up entire company claim handling. Their new "excellence in operations management " is a joke. Trying to entice millennials -overworked and underpaid but tell them they have it good -if considering employment here consider other mutual companies -they are more stable, yes do also offer a pension and pay considerably more. If you are an employee at least take classes and get certifications to build your resume. Hiring tons of independent contractors (cha ching) and terminating long time employees. I am not one of them but will be leaving after 23 years. It's going downhill fast.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
