Pros

Stable company that has never had lay-offs. Most roles have good work-life balance. Some very nice people to work with.

Cons

They brag about their stock options for employees, but you only make a lot of money if you stay there getting underpaid for years and years. $CINF stock is a dividend stock, so most profits go to shareholders rather than employees. Employee bonuses are barely based on performance and almost entirely based on the stock's performance. Lots of people have been there for a very long time and are resistant to change. While working at CIC I felt like I was dragging the company into the future. Once you meet all criteria for promotion, or even go above and beyond that criteria, expect a 6+ month wait for "processing", and promotions can only be granted at specific times every 3 months. Management is very resistant to remote work and VERY hands on if you're in an entry-level role, feels like having an extra parent at times.

Pros

I love my territory, my direct manager, and my team. I enjoy my coworkers. The lunch stipend is nice. I’ve had a lot of really great mentors during my time. The company had given me some good opportunities including free continuing education and career advancement.

Cons

The pay has been lower than the industry standard. The benefits are decent in the long term, but the raises for those growing within the company are almost insulting. Any attempts to negotiate are shut down. Bonuses have also been on the low end, although I recognize they aren’t a given. Paid time off is also somewhat limited with slow increases every 5 years. Upper management has changed and I don’t feel it’s been positive. There has been low morale and high turnover. Starting pay has remained stagnant despite increased demands of returning to office which I feel contributes to staffing difficulties. Cost of gas, car maintenance, and work attire have now cut into wages. The company felt like it cared about its staff when I started, but I have begun to feel like a cog in the corporate wheel. Corners are being cut in the name of “efficiency,” however the foundational flaws haven’t been addressed.
