Pros

Make my own schedule. I was hired with good pay. If you like a small office environment, Utica is your place of business.

Cons

Home office is trying to macro manage my old office. Do not have a manager to talk, listen or take your side. My supervisor and manager are in a different city. Hired young supervisor with little experience. No growth within the company. The company moved to new location too far. I received a 10 cent raise last year. The pay is excellent at first but raises will not. It will take you 10 years to yet one dollar to add to your hourly.

Pros

Few places of employment in Utica. Decent parking. Small gym on site. Heated building. Air conditioning. Vending machines for those with money.

Cons

Culture of bullying, back stabbing, intimidation, and dictatorial mindset of management. Company is run by a myopic buffoon who is a dim witted, greedy, short sighted bully. Promotions based on personal friendships. The company has lost money writing insurance for 8 straight years. Layoffs targeted toward experienced (and highest paid) employees a morale crusher.

Pros

They attract a lot of really great talent. The supervisors are great. Continued education is paid for by the company. Starting wages is competitive.

Cons

While I was there an office closed, a department in the main office was shut down, a few very large books of business were sold. This was the first company I worked for I really felt scared for my job since the financials and ratios were so bad. Benefits were drastically cut. Health insurance isn't great. Probably some of the worst management I've worked for. The upper management and executives are questionable at best, incompetent at worst. It started to be a running joke that a new vice president of something was hired every week. There are almost no promotional opportunities. An old UNIX based claims system is still being used for 80% of the work. It made an already stressful situation even more stressful.
