Pros

Good coworkers, wonderful home office staff, great underwriters, lots of knowledgeable people involved at all levels of the new business process.

Cons

Office manager could have used some (read a lot) of improvement. VP turned a blind eye, often felt like we were floating at sea

Pros

They are big on trying to develop within and to promote within. We try and set up cross training and shadowing as much as possible. My area is nearly always busy which helps the day to day go by.

Cons

There is some drama here and there, but if yippy can stay out of it, is a good place to work.

Pros

Good benefits comparable with most Fortune500 Companies. Follow all bank Holidays and the day before most of the time get half day off. Gives you time off for employees to pursue series 6 license.

Cons

No advancement opportunities, managers stay there and don't move. Little management training, non management staff found it hard to request vacation days off during peek holiday season. Job very repetitive, soon Artificial Intelligence and technology will take over. I was getting more grief and feedback on my minor grammar errors of my employee annual salary reviews rather than helping focus on more important things like employee career delvelopment assignments, looking at strategies to increase ROI. If you want a career where you follow and adhere to tasks with little career advancement with decent benefits this is a place for you. I quit and make 2x as much now.
