      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.

      Not Many Employers Like This Left

      Pros

      Ethical company that doesn't have to answer to stock holders/Wall Street. Takes a longer view on issues and puts people first. Not many companies like this left. Long service employees have no idea what they have.

      Cons

      Too many long service employees retired in place.

      Pros

      Over the last 12-18 months, management has been driving home a new initiative to really support their staff - not just in their current roles, but helping develop them to get them where they want to be. The energy is usually very positive and almost everyone is very friendly. On the phones your creativity may be a little limited for regulatory purposes (since this is the financial field after all), but creativity is strongly encouraged when it comes to building training materials, food days, office games, etc. This company also really promotes hiring from within. There is a lot more cross department opportunity than many companies I have seen. The culture and benefits are great!

      Cons

      The company is efficient and there are not a lot of positions for upward mobility into management, if that is your path. People in those positions now like them so much, they rarely leave. It doesn't mean that management positions aren't there, they are just competitively sought.
