Pros

There is opportunity to grow and also go to different divisions within the company. AIG also has many locations and they will assist you in relocating. AIG has a great reputation - everyone knows it and it looks good on your resume. If you've worked at AIG, it tells people in the insurance industry you are competent at what you do and are a hard worker. You can learn a LOT if you are new to the insurance world. Very good benefits package!

Cons

COMPENSATION is not enough - and therefore turnover is high. Some times of the year, the hours are too long - work can definitely be stressful. Also the training could be improved. Unfortunatley a lot of the day goes into dealing with outdated systems and resolving administartive issues.

Pros

AIG is a huge company and the possibility for growth is huge IF you have a manager or a leader that is well respected within the company. There are so many places to go that if you choose to leave the company, you leave because you do not like AIG, not becasue there was nowhere for you to go to further your career.

Cons

Company is HUGE so it is easy to get lost if you don't stand out and you can't stand out if your managers don't give you the right tools, so its a bit of a catch 22. You need to be very vocal and demonstrative in what you do so you will be known for it later on down the road. And don't let others take credit for your hard work.. make it known!

Pros

AIG, being one the largest companies in the world, does provide job security and I believe their salaries are very comparable or at least competitve to other insurance companies. The management style is not as micro managed as other companies I am aware of yet they are guilty of it, as many companies are.

Cons

AIG has a tendency to implement work policies without consulting those which the policies greatly effect. It would be encouraging if our input was sought after. We are the ones that must implement these policies and our morale may increase knowing we had a part in the changes. As such, employee morale does not appear to be a high priority and more company sponsored events or/and or awards would be appreciated. At this time, and it may change, advancement is not available nor a near future possibility.
