Business Outlook

Pros

Above average Pay & Benefits, a lot of freedom in decision making. Intense ongoing training & education. Wonderful Company to launch your career. Multiple business divisions to expand your skill and training sst.

Cons

More Managers than employees, the company is top heavy in management so it limits your ability to climb the corporate ladder. Most executive positions are located in California but most of the company's business is located in the South, South East & East Coast. Management rarely sees in person the actual damage and risk situtations that the comapny actually insures.

IT Department is terrible, pockets of other departments can be much better

Pros

- Benefits and compensation can be good if you avoid falling into a forced ranking nightmare - It is a highly stable and reliable company - Increasing focus on corporate responsibility and community investment

Cons

- The forced ranking system whereby each unit must rank some of its team low and cut them out of rewards can hinder or totally kill the collaborative spirit, puts managers in a difficult spot, and is counterproductive - There is NO effort to help you develop or find new positions in the company - if they need to reduce headcount in one area, they just get rid of you without any thought to trying to find you something else first (I've seen very few exceptions to this in my 13 years with them)

Pros

Truly global company, lot of interesting people from different places in the world and different backgrounds, pay is competitive.

Cons

More time spent on politics and internal struggle than on satisfying the customers, low accountability at executive levels, discrepancy between internal values preached and actual execs' behaviours with employees (firing often arbitrary)
