Pros

This is a very large company - so please realize that the negative & positive reviews are individual experience in a large group of offices. I LOVE my job. This is by far the best experience I've ever had in the professional aspect of my life. Management in the Field Engineering department seem to always be willing to sit down & go over anything you need to discuss, and are very affirming, encouraging and positive. Considering my experience thus far, I hope to be here until retirement.

Cons

Some types of risk reports are generated using a computer program, while others are used strictly in Word format. I believe that it would be much more streamlined & prevent additional delays (such as tedious work trying to make templates work & gather distribution lists in word) if ALL reports and letters were filtered through the same system that is used for the risk reports - separated by the type of report or letter in order to ensure the appropriate timeliness/guidelines.

Pros

* Pay and benefits * Industry best technical and engineering foundation

Cons

Miserable, toxic, regimented place to work. In recent years trended this direction. Now it is much worse. Corporate office recently changed job responsibilities for Account Managers and Underwriters in a project called "RACI". The result is lopsided heavy workload dumped on underwriters understaffed with qualified people. Underwriters are being set up to fail unless willing to work 60-80 hours per week and make one's personal life secondary to all else. AM's are being turned into "Account Executives" and will lose most underwriting skills. Underwriters now have a dead-end career path. There are numerous co-workers with huge egos that jockey for position and favor. They love to hear themselves talk in meetings. Since promotions are based on favortism and nepotism who can blame them. Management keeps a matrix of all employees and their potential for advancement. If you are in the wrong square on the matrix you are stigmatized.
