Pros
Great Opportunity for Growth: Working at Aon provides an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of health and life insurance from a brokerage firm perspective. You are intimately involved in delivering value to clients, including assisting with open enrollment, ensuring legal compliance, and maximizing the value of my client employee benefits offering. Client Engagement: The role offers significant exposure to client interactions, where you directly contribute to improving their benefits strategy and overall satisfaction.
Cons
High-Pace Environment with Limited Support: The job is demanding, with a fast-paced environment and limited support structures. The team concept is not fully realized, as each client team often consists of different members, leading to conflicting priorities and a lack of cohesive teamwork. Unrealistic Time Expectations: Frequently, you may find yourself in situations where the time allocated for certain tasks or requirements is unrealistic, as it conflicts with other team deliverables and priorities. Frequent Process Changes: Important processes often change with little notice or guidance, making it challenging to stay up to date. The revolving door of employees exacerbates this issue, leaving you to rely on a convoluted intranet for answers, which can be difficult to navigate and you may find does not have the answers you are seeking.
