Pros

Two words: Best Practices. AON exercises what's known as best practices for companies in just about every single stage of being part of a Fortune 500 company. Benefits like 401(k) matching, health insurance, tuition reimbursement, PTO (personal holidays, vacation, sick), ref incentives, etc. And all the benefits start from day 1! Managers are approachable, my team is considered large and I honestly feel privileged to have all of them as co-workers. Everyone is very supportive and truly strive for personal and professional growth. The job itself can be stressful, but when you have a great team like I do everything just seems fantastic! I honestly can't describe how much I like and appreciate my job, I'm a critical thinker and my position requires just that from me on a daily basis. With that said, I feel right at home every day. Glad to be part of the team.

Cons

PTO time is hard to use, granted right off the bat you start off with a lot to be used, but if there are client needs to be met you can't use them until a day is available. Also, if there is going to be a blackout period to use PTO, then some PTO should be able to be carried over to the next year. Use it or lose it rule in this case is unnacceptable. Stressful job and maybe not enough pay for the amount of knowledge and responsibility on you, but with that said if this is an entry level position you'll start off with not the great pay but the right pay, then it becomes the great pay. because once you gain experience and are truly a veteran, the raises along the way will truly reflect your value and you will be getting paid what you deserve. But just like everything else in life, you have to earn it!

Pros

Senior management slow to change. Great environment to learn as much as possible about insurance/reinsurance industry and the convergence of capital markets into the space.

Cons

Very political, not much in the way of vacation/personal days, and could do better with little perks/benefits. Coffee is terrible.

Pros

Access to bottomless benefits knowledge Great step up for beginning customer service representatives Decent benefits Pay range mediocre after first few raises

Cons

Environment changed significantly after AON purchase of Hewitt. Employees became more of a number and less of a person/investment. Was 'clique-ish' before purchase, became more so and very cut throat afterwards. After year 3 (Sr CSA) almost impossible to get even a 2 percent raise. Managers are taught there is ALWAYS room for improvement on anything, and this is used as a negative mark during annual review. As example, my last review was meets expectations instead of exceeds expectations due to the fact that I did not DAILY provide feedback to my teammates. Since raises were only given if you received an exceeds that year, I and most of my team received no raise even though we completed a very complicated implementation with no issues on our knowledge and process skills.
