      Pros

      Met some nice people that I have a high amount of respect for

      Cons

      Software was dated and job wasn't challenging in the sense of difficulty even though there was a lot of work to do. Thought the people were cliquish and the physical environment lacked inspiration.

      Overall a very good company to work for with a great internal team to work with.

      Pros

      Internal employees are great to work with. Management is beyond excellent and very supportive. The QA and review process is VERY fair, perfection is never expected and you are not "dinged" for little mistakes/oversights.

      Cons

      Our department (commercial underwriting) is not staffed well enough. The more experienced and knowledgeable underwriters are given very large territories as a means of servicing our best agency force. A positive that we're viewed that way and that management puts that much confidence in us. The downside is, we are in no way staffed well enough to have an adequate back-up system. If someone goes on vacation, or has to go on medical leave, we are not equipped to provide that great and timely customer service our agents expect. Gets frustrating on the agency side, which leads to frustration within the internal team. Under normal, fully staffed, times the average work week is 50-60 hours which does not create a good work-life balance.

      Pros

      Pay check every two weekends. Some co workers are tolerable. Vacation days.

      Cons

      Very Competitive culture (watch your back) , bonus structure could be better, high school clique mentality, they careless about what you know more about who you know and how much of a brown noser you could be.
