Pros
There are pockets of rational people The new HQ in Rolling Meadows is nice, good cafeteria Can work from home
Cons
A lot of red tape to get anything done Finger pointing is common instead of just fixing a problem The company is 100% broker focused; if you aren't a broker, you are dispensable Raises are non-existent unless you fight, even though every year they are profitable The benefits are horrible (only HDHP with expensive premiums) and you only get 10 days off a year (15 after 5 years) Each location has their own rules and processes, there is no consistency Nepotism is standard practice; if you are family or a friend, you are set! Management has no idea what the day-to-day is for any of the people doing the work Morale is horrible Have to wear business casual every day (no jeans allowed) They focus on being an "Ethical" company, but practices don't reflect it internally
