Pros
1) Stability -- owned by Warren Buffet 2) Profit Sharing Plan is good 3) Able to move up quickly -- there is a management leadership program 4) Clearly, their marketing and product modeling strategies are very good, so the number of policy holders increase every year (more profit every year)
Cons
1) No one on the IT leadership side really has a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished and where IT is going in the future. This makes it hard to communicate the vision down to the rest of the team members. 2) Dependability Ratings -- if you are late to work or need to take a sick day, it counts against your "rating". Need a rating of 97% dependability to do well at Performance Review time. Otherwise, you risk potentially being terminated. 3) Sick Leave policy -- you must tell your manager 24 hours in advance if you are going to be sick. Otherwise it counts against your rating. (side note: How would you even know that?? Sometimes people get sick the night before or morning of work). 4) Benefits: o Vacation doesnt kick in til after 6 months o Not eligible for Profit Sharing Plan til 1 year after hire date o Medical / Dental / Vision doesnt kick in for 75 days 5) Co-workers are nice, but not tech savvy for IT technical positions 6) No WFH / Telecommuting
