Pros

Handed a large book of clients, work from home, great health insurance

Cons

Company changes comp plan monthly. They have departments fighting each other, ridiculous assets goals that increase each year. It is almost impossible to make money at this company. Transfers in take months when it should take a couple of days. Company will not pay on anything unless its new assets coming in. Its an environment where you have to bring money in to the "product of the month" and if it drags out to long, you will no longer get paid on it. If this is your first job as an adviser you will do okay, but if you come from the full service side you will be at shock that they are still in business. Ask manager about turnover before making the mistake of working here, there is a reason every client you meet tells them you are their 5th adviser in 5 yrs.

Pros

They pay and the benefits are great! That is how they hooked me in the interview. I got a very reasonable salary with no experience in insurance

Cons

There is the absolute minimal training provided to Underwriters who need assistance. They say they will train you on the job, but then get very angry when you ask questions or ask for clarification, and there is not a central information location for employees to reference. Also there is NO HR in the entire SF building..... it is a 1 800 number :/ The day I left: I had just found out that I was never assigned major training after 5 weeks on the job and constantly asking about it, and my manager had also told me to stop asking questions and "know my place" I got up and quit right then because I felt like I my manager did not want me to learn as quickly as I wanted to learn

Pros

I have worked with some great people at AIG. There are always challenges and something new to do and learn. The work has been interesting.

Cons

Management in the tax department is poor. Way too political. Too many people just trying not to make a mistake and afraid they will be fired. Over the years there have been too many consultants running the show.
