Pros

Trains you to go work for another company. Has taught me a lot abt what i will not stand for with my next employer. It unleashed my passion for the insurance industry. Now THEY will tell you their benefits are great but MOST companies will pay for your licences or CPCU or CLU & allow you to be fully vested in less than 5 yrs WHILE paying you $20,000 more per yr. SF starts underwriters at 38K. Another company on the other side of the hwy (i can see it from my desk) starts underwriters at 65K. Same job. So THEIR 'pros' aren't really pros

Cons

The pay is disrespectful. They are totally inflexible abt time in a city full of transplants, single parents & the nations worst traffic. You have to be void of a conscious to be in management. And many managers seem to be looking for an out. When employees are not happy, customers are not happy, and employees are MISERABLE. UNDERWRITERS are being hired without in person interviews & the quality of these new employees shows. But people are leaving so fast they have to get ppl in as quickly as possible. I tell my family a and friends to start looking for other coverage because there is no way employee morale can be this low and customers will maintain satisfaction...
