Pros

80% of the time you work 9 - 6pm. Not stressful work. Managers are good people to work with on a day to day basis.

Cons

No clear advancement schedules or opportunities. Not clear guidance in performance. Promotions are few and far between.

Pros

My initial manager shared information and gave clear directions that benefited his staff and was a positive influence within the office. Salary was also a main reason for working there as well as the benefits package which also made working there worthwhile.

Cons

Once my initial manager was promoted, I realized that I was pigeon-holed in my role and that my movement was limited. Also, the senior managers within the office were extremely secretive with sharing information. My direct line manager did not have a good relationship with the office manager, so that negative vibe was passed downward to the rest of the staff. Staff would receive information at the last minute and were forced to work past your normal work schedules quite frequently. People were constantly on eggshells and after a while you start looking for your way out, salary or not.

Pros

Huge Company. If you want to work overseas there are opportunities...if you know the right people! Benefits package was recently reviewed. Newer staff get a much better package now days. (longer serving staff did lose out though in the revamp) A good place to "learn the ropes" about insurance, the company is still respected for its product innovation and underwriting discipline. Flexible working package (opportunity to work from home)

Cons

Constant restructuring is unsettling. A sense of change prevails but this has been ongoing for nearly 4 years. A lot is expected of employees at all levels. Management can be somewhat autocratic Lay offs are a constant threat given the ongoing restructuring and cost reduction exercises. Recently introduced grading system is not fully understood or accepted in the organization. There is a feeling of mistrust around how this is has been rolled out. A better job market will certainly see a huge swathe of lower level staff leaving the organization.
