Pros

Amazing people - like a family. Promote from within, education assistance, great benefit package. Integrity, loyalty, and innovation are greatly valued.

Cons

Mid-levelLegacy management not very open-minded, resistant to change. Relationships valued over performance in some departments. Technology, especially in the Life Insurance Division not current and hard to make significant progress. From what I have read on Glassdoor - same problems most long-existing corporations have.
