Vantaggi
Relationships at peer level was great Good opportunity to learn about insurance Pay was good at the beginning but got worse with time - not enough to live in Boston Training & incentives - CPCU and other insurance designations
Svantaggi
Lack of racial and educational diversity in middle and senior management - majority of the main players have worked in the same company for a long time and do not allow ideas not consistent with their beliefs. Promotion for MBAs is difficult if you do not come out of the corporate development program or corporate strategy group - lack of promotion means your salary grows at below the inflation rate. Managers are very young and immature incapable of making decisions without checking with their bosses. The criteria for promotion is not people skills but technical ability and preference of the supervisor.
