Pros

When I worked there they paid for your insurance qualifications. Shame they omitted to say they didn't care if you were qualified. Regulators need to inspect a bit more...

Cons

They don't care if you get insurance qualifications. You are a cost to the business not an asset! No final salary, they have robbed customers and staff of the orphan assets that should have ensured endowment mortgages were paid irrespective of economic issues. They have taken all of the assets of the business including the value of the buildings and given this to shareholders . They should return to being a mutual. Bring back endowment mortgages as a mutual society. Or RETURN THE ORPHAN ASSET MONEY STOLEN FROM THE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS TO THE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS! WHERE ARE THE INSURANCE REGULATORS AND WHY HAVE THEY ALLOWED THIS AND OTHER INSURERS TO ROB MORTGAGE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS! THE GOVERNMENTS ABD ALLEDGED REGULATORS OVER THE YEARS HAVE ALLOWED INSURERS TO ROB THE ORPHAN ASSETS, RENAME THEN INHERITED ASSETS AND KEEP THEM FOR THE FAT CAT IWNETS WHILE THEY TELL NIAVE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS THAT THERE IS NO MONEY DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. ( they hide the orphan assets which actually pay for shortfalls due to economic conditions. Look up the contra preferentum rule- they changed the rules of the policy as they went along.! WHERE ARE THE SO CALLED REGULATORS?!)

Pros

Very clear focus on the direction of the business from the top - real desire to be the best Great forward thinking initiatives

Cons

The organisation doesn't fully live up to it's brand values (internally) - although I beleive this is patchy accross the organisation and some areas are better than others. I happened to be in a function that felt stifled and out of touch with it's people and very disconnected from some of the exciting things going on in other areas of the group.
