Vantaggi
Lexington is a part of a large organization - AIG - but it maintains a spirit of entrepreneurship throughout the company. People are encouraged to take chances and stretch to achieve. There are many professionals working at Lexington who have been with the company many years, so the knowledge base is strong and everyone I have worked with is very willing to share their knowledge. As you advance in the organization, there are many opportunities to try new things and add responsibilities. In addition, the company is located in downtown Boston and is easily accessible by the commuter rail or T.
Svantaggi
Being an insurance company with tight margins, pay is not as high as with some other industries. Additionally, a lot is expected of workers. If you are looking for a company that rewards mediocrity, this is not the place to come. In order to achieve, you need to work hard, put in long hours, be a team player, and demonstrate your skills. As with any company, what you get out of your work is in large part a reflection of what you put in. If you are bored with your role within the company, do something to initiate change. Change won't always come knocking on your door.
