Pros

I honestly feel like this company is dedicated to treating its employees well. On the whole, great benefits package, room for advancement, and work-life balance. Although with 10+ years at the company, I know that each area is treated differently depending on management. I've had great bosses and bad bosses. Most of the negative reviews here are from either Claims or Sales which are very high pressure jobs by nature. Very financially stable company that is geared toward tech and customer service improvements.

Cons

As with all insurance companies (maybe all big business?), there appears to be the good-ole-boys club mentality. Seemingly unqualified men are promoted ahead of women. There are no VPs in any of the critical insurance operations - claims, IT, investments, etc., even though the company is comprised of more than 50% women.

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits
