Pros

- great study program - can study at work sometimes - friendly environment - flex hours - stock is doing great - lots of opportunities to learn more because of access to many different lines - innovative attitude around office, fun to be a part of it

Cons

- compensation below industry average - high turnover - recent reorganization makes it difficult to meet deadlines because we are each working in 2+ lines, periods of high workload (offset by slow periods with lots of down time)

Great company, management could use some work.

Pros

You have a set schedule and are rarely asked to work overtime, unless you're working on a project that may require you to stay a bit later. The help desk job I worked was 8-4pm, $11 an hour salary when I worked there.

Cons

It can take a while to advance in the company, a colleague of mine worked there 11 years before being promoted twice. While some of the "favorites" were able to advance much quicker.

Pros

ISO has some of the smartest people in insurance. While it's always been a center of the P&C industry, it's now looking for people with start-up energy who can help it move faster into new analytic approaches and coverage for emerging risks. It offers flex hours. Compensation is competitive. The culture can be oddly introverted (read: actuaries) and yet it's friendly and collegial.

Cons

The "old ISO" can be slow moving and cautious. Like many insurance-related businesses, including carriers and brokers, a lot of people came to ISO because they're personally risk-averse. But that's changing as management pushes for growth and new talent shifts the mix. For now, most new hires are expected to work full-time in Jersey City.
