Poor experience, not reflective of how an insurance company should be operating in the 21st or any century.

Pros

There are no pro's to this company. Obviously I would have hoped for some direction for the team but everytime on the weekly calls had opinions from the field that were squelched before they ever started. Meaning that nothing would be possible and constructive. Therefore more of a dictator approach where nobody with any smarts would entertain an opportunity to work there.

Cons

Senior management is crash and burn. Your lucky to make it three years there. Absolutely no forward thinking nor any type of product development which makes it impossible to compete in the marketplace.

Pros

Good place to gain some work experience

Cons

Little respect for people, no overall strategy just premium target, no hr, no future for young people. You have to be Greenberg's friend to be someone.

Pros

Stable well funded company. Fair pay and benefits packages

Cons

Back end shared services cannot support the business growth. Do not go there expecting that IT, HR, Legal, Finance, Credit, Audit, and Claims departments have proper funding and expertise to support the underwriting side of the house. Document and follow up in writing on EVERYTHING!! Politics and drama rule this place.
