Pros

Great benefits, higher end of the pay scale for the job, theoretically a lot of room for opportunity due to the size of the company and level of specialities, but this is heavily manager/connection dependent.

Cons

You used to be able to feel how much Travelers (or at least our department) cared about its employees, but things have been declining rapidly for the past year or two and AI implementation is only accelerating it. They are shoving AI down our throats. You get bonus points for taking time on nights/weekends to create "TravAI prompts" that are really only useful for training AI on how to do the job because of how much faster it is to do the task yourself instead of fighting to get the right info. They're tracking and forcing individual AI usage seemingly company-wide. We closed call centers in favor of AI agents, we're leaning more on WNS partners in India, and they continue to increase workloads and expected speed of handling at the same rate, making things impossible to keep up with without coming in early/staying late/working weekends. We've had multiple big retirements with no intention of replacing some people, and a few firings (seemingly more on the way) again with no job postings to go along with them, just expecting the rest of us to pickup the extra workload. Dark times at Claim University.

Pros

Everyone I work with here is great - friendly, dedicated, hard working, professional, but also fun. The company is very aware that their employees are people. They encourage us to use our time off. We have mindfulness trainings. Our medical plan includes things like 8 free therapy sessions and free visits with a lawyer for consults. Also, I genuinely get the sense that Travelers is a good company. We are encouraged to volunteer. When we do, they award us $20 for every hour of community service worked, and that money can be used to donate a charity of our choice. Then, Travelers will match the money that they already gave us. The leadership is working to be zero emissions by 2030 and I believe they will do. It's a great place to work. There are so many different business units, departments, and offices in this company that if your role isn't fulfilling you can probably find another position that will be a good fit. You are also likely to find another office in the country if you have to (or want to) move. The company is very open to people finding the right place for them.

Cons

Everyone has a very full plate. It's not an insurmountable amount of work but it will keep you very busy. We also require at least 3 days per week in office in my region, but honestly, it's nice to back in an office with people. You will likely pay more for benefits here but they have different plans depending on what you're looking for.

Pros

Travelers is quite likely the best thing that has ever happened to me. Having no prior insurance experience, I randomly found and applied for Travelers. I am a military spouse and had to leave my previously established career for a military move and Travelers couldn't have been in my cards at any better time. Through several difficult situations I have had to navigate, management has been entirely on point with their support and encouragement and I've never felt like anything that I have needed personally was an inconvenience. It's absolutely apparent that Travelers values their employees through their communications and actions. I love that this is a place of acceptance for all fully focused on career development and growth. I can honestly say I have never been happier in a career and couldn't feel luckier to be a part of this organization. I am truly looking forward to many years more of learning, fun and development!

Cons

The ONLY con I have is a personal problem and comes with the territory of remote work- I sometimes miss the in-office aspect of being able to communicate with my peers and since I have been able to develop close relationships with them through virtual means, I'd love to have the opportunity to meet them at some point. :)

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It’s wonderful to hear how Travelers has supported you through your career transition as a military spouse and that you’ve found a supportive team, impactful work and opportunities for growth along the way. It’s especially meaningful that you’ve felt supported by leadership during challenges and have had the confidence to approach senior leaders when needed. We know military spouses often navigate unique circumstances, and we’re grateful for the unique strengths veterans and military spouses bring to our teams. We’re also proud to offer programs and support networks that help employees connect and support one another across Travelers. We also appreciated your comment about missing some of the in-office peer interaction while working remotely. The strong connections and sense of teamwork you described are such an important part of our culture, and it says a lot about the relationships you’ve built with your teammates, even while working virtually. As we recognize Military Appreciation Month and approach Memorial Day, we’re thankful for the service and sacrifices of military members, veterans and their families. Thank you for being part of the Travelers team.
