      Pros

      The benefit is decent. 401k is pretty good. Nice cafeteria.

      Cons

      Treat employees with no respect. Often get ride of the senior employers with high salaries to reduce company cost. Lack of transparency and respect. Too much office politics. No talent development. Keep away from this s$$t hole.

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
