Pros
There are several Pros associated with Guardian. 1) Decent salaries and compensation for positions. 2) Reasonable life/work balance. 3) Good location (Bethlehem) for raising a family.
Cons
There are a few negatives regarding Guardian. 1) Extremely clique oriented work culture, even with interactions between management and employees. 2) "Good ol' boy" mentality is alive and well and deeply rooted in the company. 3) There is a shift from a privately held insurance company culture to a more business-like environment, but instead of a good thing, all the negative aspects of each are emphasized. Senior management is all from outside. Middle management is all "home-grown."
