Pros

has no previous history of laying employees off, great place to learn some fairly cutting edge certifications, had a lot of work, lots of conversion work from mainframe to .NET. the previous culture was family-like in a good way. slightly more diverse? still not a lot of African-Americans but they appear to be making an honest attempt.

Cons

now has a history of laying employees off, 8,000 in fact. company is losing money with every policy they sell and cannot take rate so they are slowing policy sales and letting people go. the company has always been like Italy before unification, many fiefdoms, many of which do not cooperate. this is the only company I know of that will buy a software package from a 3rd party vendor and spend millions Geico-izing it.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
