Great job!
Customer Service Advocate/Team Lead/Supervisor (Former Employee), Lake Mary, FL – March 27, 2013
Pros: was a challenging fun workplace
Cons: no planning just implementing
I was challenged by customers and employees on a daily basis which I find enjoyable because it makes me feel useful. I have learned underwriting guidelines of the company, state regulations, and have taken many leadership management courses. My co-workers are always a blessing as they provide me with many new possibilities and challenges. The hardest – more... part of the job is not being able to give a customer what they want. The most enjoyable part was being able to assist anyone who needed my help. – less

A great place to work before the financial crisis
Unit Manager (Former Employee), Saddle Brook, NJ – March 22, 2013
AIG was great and the insurance divisions had nothing to do with the financial meltdown. AIG had very robust reporting and clearly defined goals that you could achieve or exceed to differentiate yourself from your peers.

No Job Security
receptionist (Former Employee), New York, NY – March 21, 2013
Pros: none.
Cons: everything.
I worked for AIG for 2 summers and while they pay their temps really well, working for them feels like selling your soul. They constantly force older workers out and replace them with pretty little things that have nothing but air between their ears. I wouldn't take another job with AIG if they paid me $1 million a day.

We all know now the "too Big to Fail concept" was unrealistic
Life Agent /Work Site Specialist (Former Employee), Temecula, CA – February 12, 2013
Pros: i liked helping people meet their needs with security
Cons: couldn't meet my financial needs
This was a good company to work for until the fall of the Mortgage market. I was in the thick of that when left the Industry. You had to constantly hustle to keep afloat. Iam not opposed to hard work, but I do want my efforts to pay off.
You also had to come in with capital to float you until you built your book of business. So be prepared.

Proactive company.
Accidental Death & Dismemberment Adjuster (Former Employee), Olathe, KS – February 11, 2013
Pros: the hours were very reasonalble.
Cons: no health care or other benefits for contract workers
My day began at 7:30 and ended at 4:30. I was responsible for investigating new accidental death claims, sending continued benefits on existing claims and paying supplemental health claims. I learned the "in's a out's of accidental death claims and supplemental health claims. Management had a very "open door" policy. My co-workers were easy to get along – more... with and were very helpful. There was no "hard part" of my job. I most enjoyed speaking with people. – less
