      A work in progress

      Insurance advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Managers are supportive Lots of talks and seminars You can best learn from experienced colleagues so it would be best to listen to them Great balance between work and life No salary cap

      Cons

      If you're an adviser, how much you earn is up to you. Meaning if you don't get out much and talk to possible prospects, then don't expect to succeed in the life insurance business The talks and seminars are good, but still experience is the best teacher, and the management can't exactly point out what to do in every situation, you really have to go out there in the field and see what you are made of

      Good place to work if your experience is between 2-5 years

      Analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of programs to learn thing other than your core job. Management is fine to an extent. Can negotiate good salary. Couple of allowances like Food/Internet/Phone that you are entitled for free.

      Cons

      Transport policy sucks. Managements folks tend to get things done from junior folks a lot and they relax. Not a good place if you want to learn new things. Boring jobs and nothing to learn practically.

      Doing too much with too few people

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The majority of people were great to work with

      Cons

      Work/Life balance was poor. In IT when surveyed employees gave Management poor reviews, but nothing was ever done about it. In 1 1/2 years my VP met with individuals once only! My manager for 1 1/2 years only had 2 team meetings.
