Unfortunately, a lost company.

Pros

Stroz Friedberg was run by a talented pair who understood the concept of consulting, what it took to keep employees happy, and what it meant to be in the field.

Cons

The Company is gone. What is left is the corporate beast Aon, which slashes anything and everything it can to make a buck. no investment into their own purchase almost to the point you start to believe they bought Stroz for a tax writeoff. All relevant consultants have jumped ship. Whoever is left unfortunately is either trapped or disillusioned into believing it will get better even tho common logic shows otherwise. Meanwhile, countless other firms pay better, have better work-life balance, and actually understand the Kindergarten level knowledge that talented security consultants in this day and age are to be TREASURED, not demoralized.

Pros

Aon as a whole is a very good company to work for, it has great leadership and potential for growth is very high. But Aon's service center in Lincolnshire which is known as Aon Client Services is managed very poorly. If one does not care about any recognition and wants to spend time for timely paychecks, ACS is a good place, comes with good benefit plans. If you are passionate, dedicated, hard working, ambitious about your career, Aon Client Services is NOT the right place at all. If you like to chit chat and suck up to Mark Schmalzer and Martha Ronning, this is definitely your place. Salary is much low considering the work pressure but since its a service center (expense center) and produces no business, hence no career advancement opportunities, its kind of a deadened. Visionless very static and dictator kind of traditional leadership, would not be wrong to say its run like a typical school with Martha the principal of the school. Never the less, ACS does have some very highly knowledgeable vintage unrecognized employees who taught me a lot of things about insurance, ACS organization is still standing because of those vintage uncared unrecognized employees' hard work. I am rating Aon as 3 star because the company is good but taking away two stars for poor ACS leadership.

Cons

I wanted to write some positive things, but alas! After spending 4 years in ACS with a hope that I would be noticed and recognized for my handwork and dedication at some point, only saw disappointment. ACS is run by two ladies and although I did not want to feel victimized at all in four years, I was forced to believe they were very racists. Every promotion, recognition went to Young White Girls and boys only, they don't care how good a job you do, they just care how much you can suck up and if they like you, sure they will do everything to retain you, which is very unfair to other employees who work hard day in and day out for their client's satisfaction.Currently Aon Client Services has 20+ positions open and they are ready to pay extra referral bonus amounts in order to fill those positions. They did have a job fair which did not go well as one manager mentioned they could offer only two people. It sounds right because its the dead end with no career benefits. Once out of ACS, its hard to get a job outside, the more time one spends in ACS, the employee loses value.

Pros

Aon offers diverse work experiences and access to industry resources, providing opportunities for skill development.

Cons

I worked at Aon Global Risk Services for a year and a half, and unfortunately, my experience was very negative due to what I perceived as racial and gender discrimination. As a Latina woman in a predominantly white male environment, I felt marginalized and unsupported. Very few women were working there, which was glaringly evident in how I was treated. I often found myself without substantial work assignments, making me feel like an outsider. The lack of communication and support from my colleagues was disheartening. Instead of receiving guidance and encouragement, I was talked down to and ignored. I had to strive to keep up with my tasks constantly, but it felt like I was doing it all alone without any assistance from my team. To make matters worse, I was laid off from the blue on the day I was leaving to visit a client for work. Adding insult to injury, just two weeks later, they posted my job again. This was not just about the workload; it was about the broader issue of discrimination against women and Latinas. The company must seriously address these issues to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all employees.
