ACE USA – “WORK HERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN; GO ELSEWHERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN”

Pros

ACE has some very talented people. Most are willing to help you and impart their knowledge. This is a great place to learn whether you are just out of college or a seasoned insurance professional. Strong performance is recognized, but you have to push hard to turn “recognition” into something meaningful ($$).

Cons

Depending on the business unit, job frustration can be high. IT is probably a little behind the competition. Processes are cumbersome. “Disciplined” underwriting philosophy is sometimes little more than just a small appetite for risk. Serious atmosphere.

Advice to Senior Management

Stay engaged with those in the trenches. Demonstrate that you understand each region’s unique challenges. Encourage greater cooperation among business units.
