Pros

Speaking as an underwriter, the work was interesting because I was able to review legal documents from countries all over Latin America. My boss assigned us files from any and all Latin American countries, which kept work interesting, even though we may have been more productive if we had been made "specialists" on one or two countries.
The weekly meetings on Mondays were a forum of always interesting discussion lead by our boss.
About half of my colleagues were foreign nationals, and I really enjoyed getting to know them.

Cons

The work requires a lot of reading through huge documents, and you have to be really detail oriented and attentive in order to make sure you don't miss any important mistakes in the documents, and reading through the documents can be tedious.
Also, I often times felt bad for our clients, who usually had to wait for very long periods of time for their policies. New documents submitted to me usually sat at my desk for about a 3 week backlog. Then on the other side the clients had to work with their local attorney's (who have their own backlogs and problems) to collect the documents that we required. The lesson here is if you want to buy land in a developing country, you had better have the patience of a saint anyway--and if the process of buying the land burned up all your patience then you probably should go without the title insurance.

Advice to Senior Management

My only advice is to have more staff in the international division so that we could better attend to the clients.
