Pros

One of the few companies that still offer a pension and a 401k. Monday to Friday (for me) job with good pay. Health care was great when they offered HMO's.

Cons

Too many to list really but here are a few: PTO and sick days have now been combined. Almost all claims handling by phone instead of in person like they used to stress. Work/life balance is poor. Use of metrics implemented by those who never worked claims. In fact, most claims procedure decisions made by those that never worked claims. Reliance on body shops instead of company estimators, micromanagement, etc, etc.

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
