Pros

All claims staff are required to go through training related to policy/plan provisions, the systems used, and relevant/applicable insurance regulations. Advancement opportunities are posted on the company intranet and you're encouraged to apply if you meet the requirements for a position of added seniority/responsibility and are in good standing.

Cons

Depending on the department, some people are promoted to management positions based on popularity rather than merit. If you're placed in a group where the manager is buddy-buddy with half of the team, you'll end up doing their work while they take 2 hour lunches with the boss.

Pros

Benefits are great. Work life balance is terrific. Opportunities for advancement are there; you just have to network.

Cons

Large company sometimes takes time to get top-down decisions on important issues. Generally, though, people are empowered to make decisions (and take responsibility for those decisions).
