Pros
Training was excellent (14 week in class training). Pay increase of $5k once you complete the training phase. Money was decent considering no past underwriting experience was required. Travel twice per year.
Cons
1. Underwriting is only half the job. They are more focused on the sales aspect. So it's really a sales job. 2. You are compared to your peers when all regions aren't equal. So you've got one person in an easy market selling like hot cakes and getting praise upon praise. 3. I normally hate playing the race card, but when I was hired fellow black guys warned me to watch my rear... which was strange as a good number of management are women. After a while I definitely understood it was a good Ole boy network going on. 4. Super clique-ish environment. 5. Work load is at times absurd. 6. Micro-managing was outrageous. 7.
