Retirement security - pension plan, reasonable hours, profit sharing/401(k) plan, pleasant co-workers, good location

Cons

No promotions from within, management is disorganized and inconsistent - company is adrift, having brought in senior management from stock companies without a general agent network, to a mutual life insurance company with a STRONG GA network., poor working conditions - old filthy carpets,

Pros

nice people, unlimited pto, competitive salaries,

Cons

They go through restructuring so much that you never know if your job is safe unless you have a good manager who protects the team. They have turned anti- remote and the awesome pool of talent has left under the current CEO, including a very obvious amount of women in senior roles under, who were there for 10 plus years - growing and mentoring others.
