Pros

- I personally had a great team to work with who were always willing to help - Work moves slowly so you aren't rushed to do anything - Very relaxed culture - Pension if you want to stay for a long time

Cons

- Very slow to advance your career in the company. I graduated from their TLDP program and graduated as an Associate Software Engineer when I was doing work like a Software Engineer 1. This meant I needed to make it past Senior Associate Software Engineer to finally make it the position I should be in. It's more beneficial for your career to job hop at that point - I've had co-workers who weren't as lucky as me that ended up in bad teams with very pompous or unsavory people to work with

Pros

We receive continuous training to stay up to date with new state regulations and market trends. My colleagues make the day go by quickly. The benefits are very reasonable. There is room for career growth if you know how to network. I appreciate their consistent push for community volunteer opportunities.

Cons

The personal lines department seems to be falling apart right now. Issues with the internal systems are resulting in underwriters doing multiple jobs and becoming a dumping ground for all agent issues even if they aren't underwriting related. I don't feel that the directors are truly expressing to the senior leadership team the impact that all these issues are having on the mental health and quality of life for the employees that are on the front lines trying to maintain a good reputation for the company. It's sad to see how quickly this department has gone downhill and the amount of quality underwriters that are jumping ship for different departments or different companies all together. What's even sadder it that no one with authority seems to care, or listen, when concerns are brought forth. I truly advise anyone considering applying for any position within the personal insurance department to hold off until things start to change - it's not worth the mental anguish that you'll experience.
