Pros

This office has wonderful people and a great learning experience. A place to start, but not to stay long term. The only real perk offered by the company is the amount of PTO.

Cons

The pay is not great and don't expect to get a raise. The cost of benefits is pretty high for an insurance company. Don't expect to get a raise. Negotiate your salary from the get-go because that is basically the salary you will keep during your time of employment regardless of how hard your work, and how valuable you are to your team.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
