Great Place to Start in Insurance

Commercial underwriter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great training for associate underwriters. A lot of emphasis on insurance designations and the company will help cover them. Upward mobility is highly encouraged. Peers are helpful and its a solid team environment.

Cons

Once your training period is over, be prepared to hit the ground running. And no mercy if you aren't. Management at that point become Dr Jekyll like.
