Old versus New

Pros

Good work/life balance, good benefits albeit expensive

Cons

There are the old time "knowledge is power" employees who have been there their whole career versus the newbies who are want to change the inefficient way the company does business. The two groups do not get along creating more issues. This is the only company who puts project managers at fault for bottlenecks than for the individual who was reported to be the bottleneck in the first place. It is a frustrating place to work. It's amazing how this company makes any money at all. All systems are antiquated. Many people inneficiencies. Co-workers are there one day, gone the next. Management hires for the short term then eliminates employees. Lots of RIF movement.

Pros

Guardian provided a fast paced/challenging work environment with career advancement available. Each day would include something new to learn and accomplishment felt at the end of the day.

Cons

There would be no cons other than how the insurance industry has had to change in order to remain competitive. These necessary changes made job positions no longer be needed.
