Aon reviews

The way the firm has managed the COVID pandemic has been disgusting. Being the only major brokerage firm to cut salaries (by 20%*, no less) to keep “operational flexibility” signals that Aon is in financial trouble and does not have the resources to stay afloat despite operating in an essential industry. This would be fine, but instead all communications to the general public flaunt a “very stable business in global economic recessions” and that only 20% of our business is discretionary (Christa Davies, CFO, 2020 Q1 shareholders call). The firm will continue to pay dividends to shareholders and it still plans to buy out competitor WTW early 2021. This mixed messaging makes it abundantly clear to employees that we are only upper management’s puppets, despite being in a consulting & people business. This is not a company I want to be a part of, and I’m finding that many of my colleagues agree. *The salary cut was actually 19.9% to not trigger a qualifying event in our severance policy (it is triggered at 20% or more), but is “rounded up in communications”

-Diversity: Predominantly a white, male dominated company. Aon has made very little efforts to be more inclusive; the only time I recalled D&I being important is when clients informed us that they require brokers to meet a certain D&I level in order to do business with them. Look at the C-Suite - Aon doesn't care for minorities. -Pay: They undercut your salary then wonder why they have high turnover on some teams. -Culture: Working at Aon has been toxic. From people stealing items to making blatant, racist comments and "jokes" in meeting, I wouldn't recommend Aon to anyone. They lack respect for others and could care less at the end of the day.
