Pros

1. Excellent flexibility with taking time off. 2. Treated like adult professionals. Don't take this for granted, as that's not true of many employers. 3. Work with great colleagues. Good atmosphere, positive attitudes for the most part. 4. Job stability. I've been here for more than 20 years and have never worried about losing my job. 5. The company contributes handsomely to our 401(k).

Cons

1. Pay is average/below-average. 2. Like most places, we have our share of rules that are in place "just because that's the way we've always done it". 3. Some people seem to have been promoted beyond their competence. But that's true in many places.

Pros

Good opportunity for someone entering insurance field to gain a book of business with no investment and good products to grow it. Great support from district manager in my region.

Cons

Upper level management cares only about production and little else. Beware of HR department if you ever come need to deal with them or come across them. They are not your friend. Technology is way behind that of other companies in the field. If you are coming from another comapny offering investment or financial products, tou are out of luck. There are only life and fixed annuity product offerings and right now all fixed annuities have been pulled b/c of low interest rate environment. All you need to do to be considered successful is sell lots of life insurance. You can be largest p&c producer in the country but if you are behind on life it makes no difference. Toe the company line and you are golden.
