Overall Great Employer

Pros

I honestly feel like this company is dedicated to treating its employees well. On the whole, great benefits package, room for advancement, and work-life balance. Although with 10+ years at the company, I know that each area is treated differently depending on management. I've had great bosses and bad bosses. Most of the negative reviews here are from either Claims or Sales which are very high pressure jobs by nature. Very financially stable company that is geared toward tech and customer service improvements.

Cons

As with all insurance companies (maybe all big business?), there appears to be the good-ole-boys club mentality. Seemingly unqualified men are promoted ahead of women. There are no VPs in any of the critical insurance operations - claims, IT, investments, etc., even though the company is comprised of more than 50% women.

Pros

A family atmosphere with genuine team drive and spirit. Many long term employees with advancement opportunities. Hard work is recognized and home office is providing the necessary staff for our growth.

Cons

Health benefits could be better, lower deductibles and more options in our benefits package. Each office should have some local perks / discounts available to them just like home office.
