Pros

The people at Travelers are great. While I worked there I saw a lot of teaming to get the job done. The benefits are very good.

Cons

Performance expectations are extremely high. It is almost impossible to get a promotion unless you are "married" to your job, unless you are liked by upper management. The workload is generally too much for one person to get the tasks accomplished in the time frames established by the company, especially if you are an hourly employee. The constant meetings do not help & the stress level among many employees is extremely high.

Pros

Time and hour flexibility

Cons

unbalanced and heavy caseload, unrealistic expectation for claim handling, "improvements" to computer systems but just adds time and extra work, no career advancement.

Great place to work for the "in crowd"

Pros

If you end up in the in crowd and are favored by your immediate manager this could be the best job you ever had as you will be able to do very little work and get the credit for the work done by other less favored employees. Benefits will include working from home most of the time, taking vacation whenever you want, promotions, raises and bonuses.

Cons

If you do not end up in the in crowd you will find yourself working 10 hours or more a day at the office to make up for the others who are working at home. You will always get average reviews from your manager no matter what you do. Forget about ever getting a bonus as they will be reserved for the same people year after year.
