Horrible Working Environment

Senior underwriter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

3 days in office/2 at home

Cons

Entire management & sales team always out of the office on vacation. My supervisor made himself completely unavailable by working in the office when everyone was on their days home, he is passive/aggressive and stabs his employees in the back.

Look Elsewhere Before MUSIC

E&s underwriter (brokerage/music)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaried paycheck which is guaranteed pay. A few decent coworkers.

Cons

This pertains to MUSIC Brokerage (E&S. Poor management. Lagging and outdated systems and processes. Poor training. There is one person who can train on several procedures. Manager has no idea how to delegate work, is often overwhelmed and depends on her direct reports to figure out everything for her and themselves. A lot of underhanded gossip, picks and chooses amongst employees. Consider working in this department is like living in the Wild Wild West. I felt very singled out and attacked when I spoke up on certain matters. I was also the only African American person within this division of MUSIC.
