Pros

Medical benefits, matching 401K, paid holidays, parental leave.

Cons

If you are competent and know what you are doing they will take advantage of you. They will overload you with work to where you must work overtime to keep up with their service level agreement but you will get paid as much or less than the new hires who have nothing to do. There is a lot of nepotism in WHS. Regardless of your knowledge and experience there is no growth potential unless you know someone but if you know someone you can be clueless and still get promoted.

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.
