Pros

Work Life Balance -- hands down. You have a lot of flexibility here that seems almost impossible at other places.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are very limited. Conservative management style. A very slowly moving enviornment. Also there are a lot of internal politics going on at this place, which you need to deal with on a daily basis.

Pros

Work from home, very flexible hours, independence, great training, travel, and experience. You get a list of a accounts to service and it is your responsibility to get them done by the deadline, from start to finish. You must talk with clients on a daily basis, arranging visits and educating them about loss prevention. There is a lot of training provided in communication and persuasion to help all engineers communicate effectively with clients. Training is intense and will take a total of about 16 months. Classroom and hands on training takes place in the east coast and all expenses are paid. Every engineer gets his/her own AmEx Corporate card and traveling is always enjoyable.

Cons

If you don't like working from home, traveling daily, an interest in property loss prevention or the insurance industry in general, then motivation becomes difficult.

Pros

The company provides good flexibility in balancing personal life with work demands. It is a reasonably low pressure environment but isn't zero. The benefits are very good including dollar for dollar matching up to 6% in the 401k. Also provides a company card which is worth $5000 in income. Turn over is low and overall longevity is extra volaordinarily high. This shows that employees are treated well. In the last couple of years the company has also encouraged employees to exercise. Probably the biggest reason for the company's stability is the mutual ownership so that we aren't subject to market volatility.

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement. Because the company is stable and relatively flat there isn't much opportunity for upward movement.
