Aon reviews

Aon was my first job. I joined Aon in 2017 as part of their inaugural US Apprenticeship program, which allowed me to have on-the-job training while obtaining an Associate's degree. Sounds awesome, right? Well, it was too good to be true. Upon completing the program, they broke their promises and barely paid us better than interns. Additionally, as I wrapped up my Bachelor's degree with a 3.9 GPA, they stated that I wasn't qualified enough for an entry level position for college graduates. Aon isn't a friendly place for people of color and the company's talent pipeline is clogged by nepotism. It's unfair that an executive broker's son gets paid double what I make to do the bare minimum. I will say that I do believe that I've gained some valuable experience and met some great folks, but paying me an intern wage when I've done continuous client work over the past 4 years is trash. Also, the executive team is full of bull. I've had many interactions with Greg Case with the apprenticeship and have brought up many issues. He always claimed that he'd look into it, then would ghost us. When he cut everyone's salary by 20%, I felt some relief because other colleagues finally got to experience what I've felt over the past 4 years.

Flexibility and work life balance
