Pros

- Fair to midland 9-5 hours. Reasonable workload even during busy season. Very clearly layout promotion/structure. - Opportunity to transfer to different businesses and even location. - Fair compensation. But highly dependent on performance of the company.

Cons

- Passing SOA exam is a must. Those who cannot progress through the exam system will be forced to leave the actuarial program or demoted. - In some cases, promotion opportunity may be limited to how fast your manager is promoted - Ideal positions are usually taken up internally before an external posting. Outside hires should inquire with friends before applying
