Pros

Good pay and benefits for my position, my direct management chain are all amazing. They are extremely accommodating, approachable, honest, and great leaders.

Cons

Travelers has an overall good culture, however there are some pervasive cultural elements that I hate. Promotions are more about who you know as what you can do. Promotions and raises come from a communal pool and are voted/discussed amongst all the leadership in your department, so a dozen people who don't know your work well are deciding your future and pay. This requires you to network and "sell yourself," intentionally do things for visibility, and can feel like very much like having to constantly justify and differentiate yourself to a wide audience which gets exhausting. Change management for the company is absolutely terrible. Horrendous.

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.
