Pros

Great colleagues and fun (yet stressful) atmosphere.

Cons

Very poor work/life balance that you will not be compensated for. You will be expected to work a minimum of 45 hours per week and will likely get some nasty looks if you take any vacation or sick days during a busy time of year. Your busy time of year will depend on the clients you work with, so you might not be able to take a day off all summer or might have short holiday vacations depending on where you land. The benefits are decent; typical for today's standards, but they are definitely not premium benefits. Expect the company to shift most of the health care premium cost increases to you each year. Promotions and raises are very subjective and largely depend on the manager you are assigned to. There are NO processes in place to ensure your manager is doing their due diligence interviewing the people you work with when filling out your review. Aon Benfield creates great analysts, but they do not create good managers. Managers are just analysts strapped for time that fill out your review at the last minute.

Fun Job - Worked for an AON golf course

Pros

Great management, the ability to work outdoors and enjoy a free golf membership for the year. You can work a variety of positions, from beverage cart driver to pro shop staff to wedding bartender.

Cons

This is a seasonal job and the golf season is usually April to October, so you need to seek other employment for the winter. No other real cons, except maybe for cleaning bathrooms!

Why even bother?

Pros

Health Insurance, 401k match. It's a paycheck.

Cons

No HR on site makes it a virtual country club for management. Too many older upper management works with no computer skills and time management skills never being held accountable. Lower level workers treated like cattle. No room for advancement for lower level workers. Younger workers leave all the time and no one asks "why?". Bullying runs rampant with no recourse since there is no HR on site. Aon makes sure there is a phone number for problems with ethical issues with client stuff available but the number for HR for issues with coworkers or managers is almost non-existent. If some workers can work from home, all should be allowed to do it, at the very least in bad weather. Technology is way behind. No one listens at all to the lower level staff and throwing some water ice once a year or maybe a cake on a holiday isn't going to do it. It's almost insulting. Upper management gets drunk at holiday party and tells lower level staff they appreciate them then goes back to the old grind afterwards. Is our collective self esteem so low that they think that's nice of them? Who knows. Holidays where people have off (MLK, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve) have to be taken with a personal day, or they let you out with barely enough time to get home in holiday traffic for the big ones. Not enough sick/personal days. Work Life balance is non existent. If you don't work 80 hours a week, you are looked at as lazy and treated as such.
