Pros

Lived our motto: respect people, make money, have fun. Everyone was helpful to one another. Management doors were typically open.

Cons

Short-sighted Dutch executives more concerned about being a Dutch company than being a successful, global company, and once AEGON USA CEO Pat Baird retired, they walked all over AEGON USA management. Cut more profitable, higher ROI U.S. operations to send capital back to the weaker performing Dutch operations. That, ultimately, made the downside of working for AEGON USA the fact that so many of its jobs disappeared.

Pros

benefits but they declined after Aegon purchased Providian

Cons

In one division, greater Ed requirements for staff employees than mgrs. they report to-part of the problem. Tend to work in a vaccume and top mgmt learns only what they want them to know. Rumor mill is most accurate. Very few Aegon jobs left in KY.

Pros

Provided a good work-life balance, no extremely late evenings or weekends

Cons

Home office leadership is an absolute mess, with individuals with no sales experience running various sales divisions. The brass would rather have a loss leader with high sales numbers that actually makes the firm very little, than a higher performing product on a smaller scale. The turnaround time for product development resembles glacial movement.
