Pros

This office has wonderful people and a great learning experience. A place to start, but not to stay long term. The only real perk offered by the company is the amount of PTO.

Cons

The pay is not great and don't expect to get a raise. The cost of benefits is pretty high for an insurance company. Don't expect to get a raise. Negotiate your salary from the get-go because that is basically the salary you will keep during your time of employment regardless of how hard your work, and how valuable you are to your team.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
