Pros

Stabile, steady as she goes, old line mutual insurance company. Has had many new initiates to be more innovative in the marketplace over the decade that I worked there. US based and focused and with an ongoing commitment to the owners of the company (life insurance policy owners) takes a long term view for just about everything. Deeply loyal and trusting employee culture.

Cons

Not first to market. New initiatives oftentimes are planned to payback within first year (i.e. no long term investment in developing these initiatives). Small percentage of officers relative to employee base - downside is that if you are in a reporting line where the manager is out for themselves, your best work with either not see the light of day or someone else will take FULL credit for it. Outside management take the culture for granted.
