Pros

Work from home, very flexible hours, independence, great training, travel, and experience. You get a list of a accounts to service and it is your responsibility to get them done by the deadline, from start to finish. You must talk with clients on a daily basis, arranging visits and educating them about loss prevention. There is a lot of training provided in communication and persuasion to help all engineers communicate effectively with clients. Training is intense and will take a total of about 16 months. Classroom and hands on training takes place in the east coast and all expenses are paid. Every engineer gets his/her own AmEx Corporate card and traveling is always enjoyable.

Cons

If you don't like working from home, traveling daily, an interest in property loss prevention or the insurance industry in general, then motivation becomes difficult.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
