Pros

The benefits are decent. As an Underwriter, my salary is good. I enjoy the company of some of my coworkers.

Cons

Training for the Satellite Office employees is non-existent. You are forced to sink or swim (which is difficult based on the amount of information/variables you must handle). My office is not located in Cincinnati (the Home Office) so my supervisor has free reign to manage however he sees fit. He takes pleasure in watching people squirm. He is unprofessional and discusses personal information about employees with their coworkers. He openly makes fun of our customers (in this case, the agents who submit their business to us). He is too involved in office gossip to actually manage our office. Despite all of this, his peers and upper management seem to like him and don't question the decisions he's making on their behalf. In an office of 13-15 employees, he has consistently fired (or pressured people into quitting) over half of the staff. We are down to 7 employees in our office now. The workload has not decreased, just the staff. Morale is low.

Pros

Good company too work for, treat employees very well. My managers are great and want to help us learn and grow. Team oriented environment where people are very willing to help each other. My division markets and underwriters which allows us to deal with our clients directly and build relationships. Company invests a lot into their employees and it shows in our results. Average salary for the industry. Good sense of job security. It's been a great experience so far. Good benefits. Fantastic work life balance.

Cons

Siloed division which has it's pros and cons, each division is their own unit and acts different. There is room for more collusion between divisions. Health plan is OK, could be better. Can be politics within division can be annoying.
