Pros

If you are interested in commercial real estate, GNY is a leading insurer of apartment buildings in the tri-state area.

Cons

Ridiculously outdated technology. None of the systems talk to each other. Individual computers are 7-8 years old on average. Office decor is terrible. Co-worker competency is mediocre at best, although there are some good people here, they are few and far between. Worst of all, you cannot think for yourself. Only upper management has the authority to make any decisions here. The rest of us are peons.

Pros

GNY is one of the best players in the niche markets it operates in and is currently in rapid-growth mode. The company has been expanding its geographical footprint and significantly growing its book the last few years, all while maintaining its deeply-rooted culture of underwriting discipline and financial stability. Management has done a excellent job launching the century-old company forward to be more integrated and tech-enabled. Colleagues are pleasant to work with, knowledgeable and highly team-oriented. Effort and results are recognized and there is ample room for advancement. New compensation/performance review program implemented since last year; pay has become more competitive and you are proportionately rewarded for your contributions. Student loan pay down program, 6% 401k match, DB plan, education reimbursement, solid PTO, FSA, etc. Location: If you're a city person: it's the middle of Midtown, need I say more? If you're a 9-5-Home person, location is highly accessible by PT: Grand Central/Penn are a quick 10 minute walk away. You'll also NEVER run out of food options.

Cons

- Consecutive years of double-digit growth has strained work life balance. Process optimizations & new hires have somewhat helped to alleviate this.

Pros

I'm trying to think of some but other than some of the people being nice, there aren't any.

Cons

The company micro - manages. The environment is not upbeat and the company is stuck in the 70's. They talk about people and their performance openly as if you can't hear the conversions, and the training program is non-stop existent.
