Pros

-Standard benefits and perks -Good location. HQ is in midtown NYC -You will meet some decent people

Cons

-Toxic culture which is reinforced by toxic people getting constantly promoted, while the honest and humble people leave or gets bullied out -Company is run by the old white men. If you are not part of the boys club, you are not going to get promoted or fit in -Lots of "leaders" who don't do any work but are getting paid a lot because they have been there for a long time, spend most of their time playing office politics -HR protects the c-suite and enables the toxic culture in every way possible. Formal complaints won't work. In fact, it will only make you a target and backfire. The only times HR will ever respond to anything is if it is reported in the press. hire people that look like them -Slow to evolve and still stuck in the past -Professional development & growth is nonexistent

Pros

Great people (for the most part), lots of divisions to work in, good benefits.

Cons

I've consistently received good reviews the last 5 years and each year they've refused to give me a raise "because the company didn't meet its budget". I haven't even received a standard of living increase .I'm basically making less than when I started, and I'm currently looking for a job after 7 years there. I'd hate to leave, but I know I"m underpaid. There's been a lot of turnover.

Pros

- Pay is OK - Work isn't too difficult

Cons

- Some of the managers are absolutely terrible and will micro-manage you every step of the way. If you get a good manager then it's not too bad. My manager watched every move you made to the point you were afraid to get up to take a break. About 6 of us quit in a period of 2 months because he was basically harassing us and upper management did absolutely nothing about it as the employees on the team dwindled down to nothing, so that way the ones that remained were completely stressed and overworked. There are at least 1-2 other managers like this but if you have a good manager then this job isn't bad to get your foot in the door of the insurance business.
