Pros

I feel that management in my dept is very proactive in trying to keep the staff happy. They are extremely accomodating in allowing you to work from home when necessary. The amount of time off is a plus as it starts out at 4 weeks and you are allowed to buy additional time.

Cons

Senior management tends to rely on the namebrand as a reason for jumping the market in rate increases. This can make your job much more difficult in comparision to competitors. I've worked in UW and claims. I felt that claims management was below par and it resulted in less than desirable results. I also saw a lot of cronyism in in promotions. That didn't necessary cost me, but has others.

Pros

I love working for Travelers. It has a strong culture built on integrity and collaboration. Leadership is visible, accessible, and genuinely invested in the success of the business and its employees. There are real opportunities to grow your career here — the company promotes from within and supports professional development in meaningful ways. I've seen colleagues advance significantly, and I've had the same opportunity myself. Travelers truly cares about its customers and the value insurance brings. Great team atmosphere and tremendous co-workers. **Cons:** The pace is fast and the workload can be demanding, especially in Claims. This is not a 9-to-5 environment, and candidates should come in knowing that. That said, the expectations are clear and the work is meaningful. **Advice to Management:** Keep doing what you're doing. The culture and leadership here are genuinely differentiated — don't lose that as the company continues to grow.

Cons

I don't consider it a con but some might - the pace is fast and the workload can be challenging, especially in Claims. Company is cutting edge so you should be prepared for change and continuous development to meet the business environment. That said, the expectations are clear and the work is meaningful. If you like to be challenged this is a great place to have a career.
