Pros
1) If you are old, white and male, this company is for you. 2) If you are just starting your career, this company is for you. 3) If you enjoy boring work with boring people, this job is for you.
Cons
1) Lack of TEAMWORK. I have worked at top tier companies that foster teamwork. 2) Lack of PASSION and EXCITEMENT. It's insurance, nothing exciting unless you live insurance. If you have worked at other industries, please stay away from this organization. 3) Lack of CULTURE. Starr is an oppressive and old-fashioned organization. 4) Boring job, boring people, boring culture.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Starr Insurance Companies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Short hours for decent pay.
Cons
Toxic in every sense of the word. The only people that thrive enable this mindset and perpetuate the behavior. I actively watched people lie, manipulate, and brown nose to get ahead/gain power & control without remorse. Bullying and abuse of power is an often occurrence. No one has a clue about what they’re doing until it bites them in the butt & they have to learn. Good humans with standards don’t last long here and if they stay, they quickly become depressed or complacent. Stuck in 1950’s office mentality.
