Pros

* Great work-life balance * Everybody is willing to teach, learn, and promote growth * Only two days in the office a week * Great compensation right out of college with no prior experience * Work load varies greatly, but for the most part it's more than manageable

Cons

* Steep learning curve if coming out of college or have no insurance experience * Not great overall training * Not a lot of growth opportunities if you're in underwriting * Unless you have ample experience, will have to wait for the possibility to go fully remote (if even provided the opportunity) * Spend a lot of time fixing problems that are at the fault of other underwriters, departments, and agents * Operations team doesn't know how to do anything * Proprietary systems suck and often work against you * Some people will inherently have more work than others - you may have a lot of work, but someone with the same experience may have minimal. Dependent on agencies. * Small enough teams/departments where corporate drama and politics will take over at times

Pros

Global reach, brand name/reputation, nice technology equipment and solid networking. Opportunity for internal mobility. Good 401k match.

Cons

Incredibly slow systems and stifling bureaucracy. Culture is overall relaxed but not very hospitable, which is likely both a symptom and cause of a high-turnover environment. Raises are well below inflation. Moral does not seem considerably high and the bureaucratic nature of work hinders development. All of these factors combined negatively impact motivation. Very little open discussion about marketplace trends and tedious processes make the role feel very administrative despite being more analytical at other firms who have improved their systems. The firm has done a great job of diversifying across product lines and geographies, but a very poor job of talent retention and upgrading systems, which are the long-term tailwinds that’ll put Chubb at the forefront of the industry.
