      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at CNA full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      - Pay for my field very competitive.
      - Flexibility with remote work if circumstances dictate.
      - Benefit package (401k match, PTO buy)

      Cons

      - "Continuous learning" is preached, but only on the job. If I wanted to take actual classes to advance my skills at a university, it wasn't supported.
      - Unclear goals, moving targets after team layoff and reorganization. Lack of focus and strategy.
      - Lack of professionalism/respect from upper management.

      Advice to Management

      Pay attention to your team's temperature. The new AVP of our group wanted creativity and professionalism, but expected us to "fall in line" and do things her way.

      I have been working at CNA full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Good compensation, Director level and below are great people to work with, large company with room to have a breadth of exposure to different areas within insurance

      Cons

      To get anything of substance done, you need to be able to navigate and convince the bureaucracy at the top to agree to your course of action which is tough considering top level management turnover; heavy focus on cost instead of value; corporate strategy: reduce and minimize expense ratio by any means necessary; upper level management does a poor job of framing corporate strategic platitudes as meaningful and exciting to lower level employees: "keep your head down, focus on your work, and don't worry about the future"

      Advice to Management

      Pick a strategy and run with it: econ 101 platitudes of reducing expenses and increasing revenues is not a highly motivating vision. Provide substance that details goals providing purpose to all employees, from those how generate revenue to those in the 'back office'

      I worked at CNA full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Great company when I started in 1993 Pittsburgh branch-then they bought Continental Insurance and things seemed to get weird. Last year for me was 1996.

      Cons

      Insurance is regimented and carriers have the same mindset-in one sense it’s good because you know what to expect-in another sense it’s kind of discouraging-creativity is not really encouraged. Maybe Chicago home office is better and 1993 was a long time ago.

      Advice to Management

      The Pittsburgh office had a great mgt team

      Pros

      Huge focus on talent right now

      Cons

      At the end of the day, it’s still an insurance company

      Advice to Management

      Keep focusing on becoming a place that young talent wants to work
