Pros

I have never felt more valued as an employee; both immediate as well as senior management genuinely care about each employee (surprising given the growth and amount of people working here). The culture is excellent and the amount of outside bonding opportunities is perfect for creating great relationships and friendships that I'm sure will stay strong beyond the work place. The benefits offered are numerous and nearly unmatched - paid maternity and paternity leave offered. 401K plans are incredible from your first day and counseling is available if you need help planning/understanding. Recognition for good work and wins is often and consistent. Micro-management is rare so it is an ideal environment if you are successful without a ton of supervision.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities - available in some departments but overall, movement is difficult if you do not start at the bottom of that department despite your education and/or experience. Type-A personalities are the norm and as a result, you sometimes may feel as though you are competing with those around you or other departments instead of as a team.

Pros

GREAT benefits. 10 days of paid vacation, 10 days of PTO, 2.5 personal days, 10 paid national holidays and one optional holiday. After 3 years you get 15 days of paid vacation. Employees also get 11 weeks of paid parental leave. Lockton also offers a variety of insurance plans from health, vision, dental, life, disability, and several others. They also match up 6% for a 401K. While there is no tuition reimbursement plan they do pay for industry related education and are investing heavily in associate development and training. You will get no better training anywhere else in KC. So there are a lot of good benefits to take advantage of.

Cons

Depending on which unit you are in has the biggest impact on ability to grow with in the company. Another con is the salary for entry level positions, which ranges between $30-$35K. The pay is well below average than what other companies pay for entry level positions. That being said, they do spend quite a lot on developing their associates, but even with that being taken into account the salary is still not competitive, and it will be several years of below average salary before you are getting paid close to market rate. So if you are in a good unit and have opportunity for growth it might be worth the wait to stick it out even with below average pay, but if you are not in a good unit that is growing, stay for a year or two and go get paid $15K-$20K more at any other broker in town or insurance company.
