Pros

I have been an underwriting assistant for AmWINS for almost a year. My impression has thus far been that although they are a large nationwide company, AmWINS treats their employees as people instead of numbers. Management keeps everyone informed of changes in operations and company procedures via email and is very thorough in these explanations. Questions are always welcomed and when communicating with staff members in the operations and technical support teams, I always receive amicable and individualized attention. The underwriters in my branch are more than willing to help the assistants learn and grow. AmWINS also encourages employees to get involved in the community and holds service outings accordingly, as well as outings for fun. Free coffee, soda and bottled water. Free breakfast once a month. Health insurance is more affordable than I've had it before. Paid time off and paid overtime.

Cons

Although the systems are not hard to learn, technical issues do occur a bit frequently. The IT teams are constantly upgrading the systems and trying to prevent glitches, however.

Pros

It's important to note that entry-level hires may experience limited pay increases initially, often just a dollar or a few cents after being hired. The manager takes a hands-off approach, which fosters autonomy but also places the responsibility on the team to support new hires. The company’s culture emphasizes celebrating its employees, creating opportunities to build relationships across all levels, from junior staff to senior leadership. Overall, it’s a warm and inviting workplace where employees feel appreciated. Additionally, the company offers a 401(k) plan and healthcare benefits, further enhancing the employee experience.

Cons

The department has a relaxed management structure, which can be both a strength and a challenge. With a small team, onboarding procedures are somewhat informal, and the assigned trainer often has their hands full, making it difficult to receive the guidance needed for a smooth transition. Additionally, the hourly pay is fixed and not negotiable, and it may not align with a living wage, as the company prioritizes "experience in the company" over salary considerations. While the environment is friendly, potential employees should be aware of these aspects when considering a position here.
