Pros

PURE has a wonderful company culture and I’m sure many roles are fantastic. Everyone I’ve worked with has been kind and welcoming, and there is a culture of openness. Employees are genuinely cared for.

Cons

The Underwriting department at PURE is woefully understaffed, and new hires feel it heavily. As we are meant to be learning the role as analysts, the people meant to be mentoring and teaching us have too much work themselves to dedicate meaningful time and effort. Once analysts get their book of business, they suddenly have 50+ relationships to juggle and the work is never ending. This is all a part of the job, but with little direct support, it becomes unmanageable.

Pros

Best company I’ve worked for. The culture is genuinely people-first and you feel valued, not just like a number. Leadership is transparent and accessible, compensation is competitive, and the work is meaningful. You’re set up to succeed and given real autonomy to do your job.

Cons

Like any growing company there is always room to refine processes but PURE is constantly improving and receptive to feedback. Nothing that outweighs the positives.

Pros

Coworkers, solid 401k matching, health benefits

Cons

One of the hardest lessons I learned early in my career was that not every workplace is healthy, and that toxicity can become normalized when leadership and HR reinforce it. Employees were routinely gaslit into working long hours for minimal pay, taking on excessive workloads due to chronic understaffing, and overcompensating simply to stay afloat. Any attempt to set reasonable boundaries was met with reprimand, pressure, bullying, or eventual push-out (which appears to be the default approach). With the current leadership, this culture is unlikely to change, and it’s unclear whether that is a concern at all. PURE’s culture offers only two paths: full, unquestioning compliance (regardless of personal cost) or being quietly pushed out. I chose self-respect over compliance, rebuilt my confidence in the workplace, and found a company whose leadership genuinely recognizes, appreciates, and celebrates my success. I promise, you can too!!!
