Pros

It is a decent place to work after college...for a while. They tend to hire younger staff through staffing agencies, thus multiple employees are hired at once and it is easy to find a niche. They feed you occasionally.

Cons

The building is the definition of an Officespace nightmare. No real windows to speak of, old tall/small cubicles, an absolutely laughable training regimen (one week of training, 3 months of cluelessness and neighbor-asking), dirty 80's carpet, and apparently no janitorial staff (the place is a dust palace). Management refuses to hire more employees despite people quitting weekly. The work is getting more and more out of hand and it's impossible to provide even decent customer service when each employee is working to resolve 100+ claims at any given time. Working for a "non-standard" insurance company providing unsatisfactory help, what a way to live! ...PASS

Pay rate, some of the nicest people work here

Cons

Supervisors! Un-organized & can't be trusted)...constant changes without informing the staff, they will fire you.

Pros

There is absolutely nothing positive to say about The General. It is unethical and immoral. Run, don't walk, run away from an interview. Don't even apply. Save yourself the stress and constant headache.

Cons

Always watch your back and trust no one. People will throw you under the bus to save their own hides. You will be set up and wrongfully terminated.
