      Pros

      Our current CEO drives, through her leaders, a culture of empathy, curiosity and an honest desire to improve outcomes for our customers. It makes it easy to come to work every day when you can truly believe the work you are doing has meaning.

      Cons

      Large old companies can be slow moving ships sometimes. We are in a period of rapid change and we are working on improving the speed of innovation, but it takes time to build that muscle and it hasn't hit all parts of the organization yet.
