Pros

Nice coworkers. Good caring people. Money is deposited into your acct bi- weekly

Cons

Micromanaging has become overboard. There is a report for everything. They take "Flexible and Adaptable" to a new level. Pay sucks compared to every other insurance company-just compare salaries They've segmented everything so much that they leave you skillless in insurance field. You have to Earn PTO which equates to 5.5 hours every pay period. It just sucks. It's like a black hole. The morale sucks. The jobs suck, upper management pretends to care but don't. If you're looking for a career, pass GO.... collect 200 and keep looking. Do NOT join the Farm. If you're in need of money and anything will suffice, go for it!

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
