Pros
Quality of life is through the roof amazing. Your work schedule is made by you and completely flexible as long as you are meeting your goals set forth by management. If you perform above your coworkers you will be rewarded with bonuses. You work from your home office and complete work for other insurance companies including ratings and underwriting surveys. The training is excellent and ongoing with continual training monthly. Managers are very friendly as long as you meet their goals they expect. Is this job easy? No. Is it satisfying? Yes. I like the fact I can work 12 hours on Thursday and take a half day on Friday if my workload allows it. Working at ISO is a 5 star experience for the most part.
Cons
Raises are a little below par as after you have been there for about three years you are qualified for Loss control jobs with many insurance companies starting at 70-80K but you will only be making about 50K+ at ISO. This affects their turnover somewhat I'd assume. I've heard some have to threaten to leave ISO and quit for a day and be rehired for a 20K raise for your own job so they can remain competitive. Due to policies on raises these types of games are played. ISO reps are trained to high standards therefore are highly sought after. FR's don't sit in a classroom to learn about sprinkler systems, they go to the Delaware Tech burn labs for a hands on training experience. No one can compare.
