Pros

work-life balance is highly embraced throughout all levels of management; very good training and development programs; good values and a very healthy life environment.

Cons

conservative management; fast pace career development for individuals in actuarial, finance and human resources area; but not for other disciplines (e.g., sales and business development, marketing).

Advice to Senior Management

Significant need for improved communications; more transparency, and need to encourage more honest and healthy debate of business issues vs. old practice of being "collegial and nice" all of the time to avoid hurting peoples feelings or to speak in truths.
