Pros

Developers get a pretty good amount of freedom. Pay more than a student worker at the University would get paid.

Cons

No opportunities for learning experiences, salaries are low because they're in a software engineering desert (at least in Tuscaloosa), a lot of office politics, "cow-boy coding" culture, no upward mobility, and lack of people with actual management experience from outside of the company are some of the biggest cons of working at Insuresoft. Management will pay a lot of money for consultants to tell them how to develop software better and then ignore them at best, and demonize the consultants at worst. Biggest problem (especially for the industry they're in) is that they don't use security best practices and instead opt for "security through obscurity". I warned management about several vulnerabilities in critical systems before I voluntarily left.

Pros

Immediate boss and team were fantastic and getting to work from home is great. I would recommend Insuresoft for people looking to add software experience to their resume.

Cons

The pay is well below industry standard. They also talk a lot about getting to advance/move around within the company but that just doesn't happen. A few specific people on the leadership team are extremely difficult to deal with and everybody knows it but nothing is done. Time is micromanaged to the point it feels like you can't ask your coworker about their weekend without having to stay late to make up that time. Upon finding a new job opportunity (at almost double the pay) I was offered an "Incentive" to stay at Insuresoft that included one year of training to MAYBE move into a new role if one was ever available. No pay increase was offered.
