Pros

Good benefits and job stability - that's it!!

Cons

Micromanagement, unrealistic expectations, everything is about numbers and metrics, daily huddles in which you are shamed for why you didn't reach unrealistic numbers, no freedom to devote the time and investigation a claim requires, treated as if you are a machine, bad work environment because the company culture is no longer one in which you know the people you work with, the list can go on but this should be enough to tell you to work somewhere else if you would like a good quality of life. They give you time off here but it's impossible to use it unless you bid a year in advance. How can you live your life planning a year in advance??

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
