Pros

-Set hours, no need for overtime -Stock options, 401K match

Cons

-Management does not treat each worker as an individual, more like cogs in a machine, and do not provide guidance or encouragement -No room for advancement -Office interaction is limited and discouraged -Lack of understanding new technology; most of the people here are older and do not know how to do things online, use Excel correctly. This includes people in charge. -Managers frequently gossip about other employee's personal matters. -Pay here is, on average, less than industry standard -Benefits are not as good as they want you to believe -Operations department is understaffed and unappreciated -Underwriting staff is treated like upper class; operations staff (who does most of the work) is treated like they are idiots when that is just not true -Lack of religious tolerance. One employee was told they could not take "Jew" holidays off.

Pros

Bonus, ESOP program, PTO, and flexible work schedule

Cons

Managers go out their way to belittle and lack communication skills, they mastered the talking aspect of it but not the listening. HR is very you versus them so if a problem arises where you feel like you can no longer communicate with management it’s pointless to go to HR. Company lacks diversity in upper management positions. Male dominated company.
