Pros

The people - genuinely nice people and with 10 years at the company you really come to appreciate the majority of the business as family.

Cons

Poor leadership choices moving forward with the IT department. Now ex-CIO brought in all of his cronies from Nationwide. Became a culture of either you're from Nationwide, or you're nothing. Ruined the family culture of the organization and many people packed up and left. CIOs mantra was "IT is just math" and people were treated like numbers, unless you were hired under that regime. CIO is now gone, but many of his hires still hold the leadership in IT. For that reason, unless you have Nationwide on your resume and you're looking for a job in IT; look elsewhere. If you have doubts, ask anyone that works in IT at FBL. Hoping the new CIO (who was hired internally and not of the Nationwide lineage) can turn things around.
