Pros

Benefits are good and co-workers in the Overland Park office are competent and very friendly (Midwest people!).

Cons

Used to be a great place to work when GE owned it, but now the morale is low and employees (especially the Kansas office) are treated as dispensable. Unqualified, egotistical managers from the NY office trying to supervise people who they don't know and never see - not a great system!

Pros

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Cons

1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
