Pros

The experience so you can get a job somewhere else.

Cons

Management is extremely old and out of touch with young junior underwriters. Underwriting department has the highest turn over. There is no orientation when they hire you. You are isolated on purpose on others if you are a trainee.

GNY Insurance Companies Response

Overall, we have historically maintained low turnover compared to our industry. A good portion of recent turnover has been due to retirement. Our most recent paid time off policy does allow roll over of vacation or PTO days. With respect to performance management, we are striving to strike the balance in transparency as well as holding employees accountable for their work product.

Pros

None other than it’s a small niche market so you get to become an expert in Hab in underwriting.

Cons

This company operates in a toxic environment where leadership manages through fear, intimidation, and favoritism. If you’re not part of the favorite group, you often feel excluded and undervalued. One of the biggest challenges I faced was working under a controlling manager whose micromanagement created stress while offering little support or guidance. Rather than building people up, her approach left many employees frustrated and demoralized. Across the company, leadership relies on control and mistrust, withholding knowledge to maintain authority instead of encouraging collaboration and growth. This gatekeeping, combined with noticeable gaps in expertise, creates confusion, poor decision-making, and constant tension among teams. Not to mention, the CUO makes derogatory political comments towards a group of people on all company calls. Turnover is understandably high, as employees eventually leave the unhealthy culture. Prospective employees should carefully consider the leadership style and lack of support here, as development and well-being are not prioritized.
