Business Outlook

Pros

Good atmosphere. Friendly. Fantastic broad range of global, regional and country specific clients. (Probably the best in the market). Great market reputation.

Cons

No training to really speak of. Hard to progress (dead man's shoes) resulting in a frustrated junior workforce. Low salaries.

Some of the greatest people in the industry

Business Outlook

Pros

Great to be at the cutting edge of reinsurance innovation. People are some of the best and brightest in the industry.

Cons

Compensation lags the industry unless you're onboarded with significant experience or possess strategic value. Despite impressive growth, staff has been instructed to "tighten their belts."

Business Outlook

Pros

Others have complained about low pay but if you are talented you will get a nice increase on your way in. There are plenty of reasonable hard-working people in the company.

Cons

There are many. Someone else made this comment but it's not beneficial to be in any group other than broking. Some seriously brazen personalities who lack the ability to treat people with respect. The office environment could use a serious morale boost as well. Reporting increases in revenues and earnings without any appreciable change in culture or bonus potential doesn't help anyone. Finally, dead weight -- there is lots of it. Tons of folks near the top who seemingly do little of anything and plenty in the trenches who lead to huge fixed costs without a blip of productivity.
