Pros

401(k) plan, short and long term disability insurance (this is likely to be eliminated shortly).

Cons

Horrible attitude toward employees. Extremely stressful work environment. Sales people are not entitled to any vacation time. Any time off is subject to a manager's approval. Poor health insurance plan with huge out of pockets. No defined pension plan. Low compensation plan. Poor management attitude toward even customers.

Pros

If you're new to insurance it will be a good stepping stone to a better company

Cons

Theres no leadership what so ever... the management motto should be "pass the buck" because the offer no helpful advise other then "heres how to stay off a list". The work load is insane... theres an average of 280 pending, but that doesnt include record only! Add an additional 80 to 120 record only files and the work product becomes sub par. Oh and in a recent meeting the so called ceo armstrobgstates "I had no Iidea our customers were 80% spanish speaking"... seriously... also the worst insurance plan I've seen a company have... it'd be cheaper to not even have the insurance and pay everything out of pocket.

Pros

Implemented agile methodology, structured approach to development, new folks haven't been around long enough to understand/realize the lack of upward mobility beyond first level promotions.

Cons

Upper management tells you what you want to hear, but falls short on the follow through, which results in disillusioned and bitter associates who are willing to stay until they find another employer.
