Pros

The environment is friendly for the most part. Both holiday hours and PTO are pretty generous. Holiday hours are a plus! Work life balance is pretty decent if you stick to specific hours each day. The merge of the original Alliant Chicago office and Chicago Mesirow went very well. Office is located in a great, nice location.

Cons

I’ve been working at Mesirow for a little over a decade now and we are truly behind speed with the market in terms of competitors and perks. Most companies/competitors, if not all, can wear jeans on a daily basis but we’re still only allotted one day. The company being comprised of nothing but adults leads me to believe that all employees can make the right decision by wearing jeans daily and still maintaining a professional look. Might not seem like a significant issue but everyone around the office complains about this and wishes they could wear jeans daily. Simple issue….simple solution to make a big impact/difference. Another issue is that all employees can work from home based on the granted access, but it all depends on manager approval. This should be allowed a few times a month because almost everything can be done from a computer or laptop remotely. Still in the stone ages apparently.. These little perks make life a whole lot easier. Expensive dental due to voluntary coverage.

Pros

Strong reputation in the insurance industry with access to large and complex accounts. Competitive compensation and benefits. Opportunity to work with experienced industry professionals and gain exposure to sophisticated commercial insurance programs. Entrepreneurial environment that allows employees to take ownership of their work. Access to resources and technology that can support client service when utilized effectively

Cons

May vary by regions or departments.. Training and onboarding can be inconsistent, particularly for employees transitioning into new teams or specialties. Processes and procedures may vary significantly between offices, regions, and teams, creating confusion and inefficiencies. Some Departments- Limited standardization of workflows, templates, and documentation can lead to unnecessary rework and increased risk of errors. Collaboration and communication between departments can be challenging, making it difficult to obtain timely support or guidance. Role expectations and responsibilities may not always be clearly defined, resulting in ambiguity and shifting priorities. Success often depends heavily on individual team dynamics rather than a consistent company-wide experience. High workloads and competing priorities can make it difficult to balance client service, administrative tasks, and professional development. New employees may face a steep learning curve with limited structured environment. Management likes to tell you to go to the Alliant portal to reference.
