Pros
- Relatively low stress - Good work/life balance for most employees - Great health benefits - If you are a Maguire, a cousin of a Maguire, or marry a Maguire, you will be senior management within a few years.
Cons
- The Maguires and their family members advance at an unwarranted pace while promotions in the field are few and far between. - Underwriters given little ability to do more than rate accounts, work with products that are not up to industry standard. - Middle management presents an austerity plan and severely limits compensation while the C-suite spends money frivolously, such as appointing Co-Presidents. - Many marketing reps lose money on their travel as the travel allowance does not adequately cover travel expenses. - Overly strict on expenses. It was taboo to spend money on lunch with a broker - PIC reps beg underwriters to put $40 broker lunches on the UW's expense report because they are afraid of submitting expenses.
