Pros
There are work-from-home opportunities, department-permitting. The organization's sheer size allows for networking opportunities within the insurance industry, something that new hires will definitely want to take advantage of. In general, the facilities themselves are very nice. There ARE still some good people left in the organization, despite the alarmingly-high turnover rate.
Cons
The organization itself is extremely poorly led and operated. The benefits package for employees, in particular, is shameful for an insurance brokerage, and the company has a reputation for paying well below market-value. Inter-department communication is very poor; between departments, it's functionally nonexistent. Technology is not this company's friend; the equipment is mostly outdated and glitchy, and many of the systems and servers do not communicate well. The turnover rate is alarmingly high - something clients are starting to take notice of- and the onboarding and training for new hires is basically nonexistent. Newly-acquired firms are not properly integrated into the company, resulting in massive confusion and angst for both clients and internal staff. Nepotism and favoritism are not only present, but pervasive, further contributing to the exceedingly low morale present in many locations. Local leaders often make questionable ethical decisions, all for the sake of EBTIA. HR talks a good game, but is basically feckless with regards to fixing the problems. Despite constantly bragging about its size, the company is not highly regarded in many quarters of the insurance industry, resulting in poor vendor-relations.
