The worst 2 years of my life.

Pros

Office was close to my home and school. Although I was only employed by a small segment, travel insurance, of a corporate insurance giant, I can say that Aon, as a whole, is a very solid, profitable company. Great 401k matching. Solid benefits.

Cons

Very cliquey office environment in Jericho. Several employees, including bosses, all of whom have been working there for 8, 10, 15+ years, feel the need to bully certain new people that get hired. Unless you are a close relative or friend of someone that is already working there, preferably a person in upper management, I would not recommend this workplace. Salary was very low.

Pros

No Fortune 500 company can be all good or all bad. There are some very dedicated employees who are generous to go out of their way to help new grads. That being said, they are the exception. If you work at Aon, I encourage networking across multiple departments to seek out managers that can help guide your career. The value working at Aon has nothing to do with insurance. You will gain more work experience and learn more about managing people in 1 year at Aon than most people learn in 5 years working anywhere else. Overall, Aon Reed Stenhouse underpays, offers zero professional development and is a very challenging work environment. To be fair, however, every department is completely different and 100% depends on your manager - so, ask to meet your manager before accepting a position!

Cons

Never work for the Aon Global Client Network. The team will demand that you compromise your professional integrity and worse than offering no career advancement - they will actively limit your opportunities to grow professionally. In the past 5 years there have been 6 people hired and have quit the Account Coordinator position in this department. They also underpay and legally broke my contract.
