Pros

I think that they are flexible in terms of allowing individuals to balance their family lives and work. They are very far with their compensation and various other benefits. They are the biggest insurance company in the world - this means that as an employee you get great exposure to the insurance industry and your knowledge of the insurance business expands because of the vast business lines you're exposed to.

Cons

The only downside is that with the recent reports on AIG's performance - it's quite embarrasing because the first thing people remember is that we've made the largest loss in a quater (in the word's history)!

Pros

You can gain a ton of experience in a very short time. There are many opportunities for advancement, even for fairly young employees without much experience or straight out of college. The training and experience you get at AIG is sought by all of AIG's competitors in the insurance industry.

Cons

The negative perception of AIG in the press these days. This has led to general depression at work and realization that we are no longer the biggest and best insurance company in the world. There is a ton of personnel turnover. It's very hard to see so many employees leave to go to the competiion.

Pros

Flexibility of the hours permitted to work. Recognition for successes on the job. Able to take holiday without the worrying about getting requests denied. There is a strong support staff in place that to help other individuals succeed. There are ample networking techniques in place to broaden industry knowledge. The experience of working within the company has set a strong framework for future endeavors.

Cons

The stresses associated with the current financial market relating to job security. Need to retain workers has led to the retention of individuals who would otherwise not be qualified within their current positions. Typical, 9 to 5 job environment.
