Pros

Large company with plenty of room for good people to move laterally or upward. Very stable company. Competitive wages. Beautiful location. Nice fitness center, pool, golf course.

Cons

Upper management cannot relate to workers. You are a number. Benefits have been reduced recently. Too political. There was a seemingly baseless and poorly communicated firing of a well respected director. I do not trust upper management. Employee quality of life is not a focus. They pay it lip service but there is no follow through. High turnover in some areas with seemingly no notice by upper management. Cannot change positions internally without your current manager being informed the instant you apply, lending to the loss of good people who fear repercussion and therefore look externally rather than internally. Very top heavy corporate structure but not enough good leaders. In IT it is a pressure cooker where most lower managers are "working managers" and there are no IT Lead job roles. This leads to lower quality and higher stress. IT is also very fragmented and large projects are virtually impossible to pull off.

Pros

Other than workloads which are too heavy sometimes it is a good job where you learn a lot. You work hard, but the adjusters and managers all help each other and will answer questions and give you help. Good 401k match.

Cons

The health benefits are not the best and they should be reviewed so that they cost the employees less and offer better coverage.
