Pros

- Despite benefit cuts, the benefits are overall still quite good. - Extremely generous PTO and 401k matching - Great job stability. Never felt like I was at risk of being laid off. - Incredibly financially stable company. - Great work/life balance (HIGHLY team-dependent)

Cons

- Benefit cuts - Senior execs are completely tone deaf - Extremely political - The "pension" is a farce. It's a savings account that loses money to inflation. - The technology is easily 15 years behind. There's plenty of focus on modernization, but the company moves so slowly that by the time they get "modernized," they're already years behind.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
