Pros

You're continually learning new things. Once you have grasped one concept they will introduce you to something else. The compensation packages are quite respectable in this day and age.

Cons

The learning curve is very steep and doesn't let up for quite some time. They provide support for learning new things, however due to the vast amount of knowledge within the company it is impossible to support people in individual ways. They send you out the door and you essentially sink or swim. You can go quite some time without actually doing the job as they might expect you to do it without even really knowing.

Pros

Work from home, very flexible hours, independence, great training, travel, and experience. You get a list of a accounts to service and it is your responsibility to get them done by the deadline, from start to finish. You must talk with clients on a daily basis, arranging visits and educating them about loss prevention. There is a lot of training provided in communication and persuasion to help all engineers communicate effectively with clients. Training is intense and will take a total of about 16 months. Classroom and hands on training takes place in the east coast and all expenses are paid. Every engineer gets his/her own AmEx Corporate card and traveling is always enjoyable.

Cons

If you don't like working from home, traveling daily, an interest in property loss prevention or the insurance industry in general, then motivation becomes difficult.
