Pros

Based on the industry, the possibilities are endless, however, based on the CEO's 2015 interview statement, ‘Cheap is the new cool’, none of these opportunities are capitalized on.

Cons

Untrained, underqualified management. Employees have no voice with the exception of the ones who are related to the management. Insecure employees undermine and bully each other with no intervention from Management or HR. The lack of diversity and organizational socialization stifles the company.

Amwins Group Response
10y
At AmWINS, we want to build a culture where employees feel valued and engaged – after all, insurance is a relationship business and we value the collaboration and communication among employees. Because feedback from our employees is so important, each year we conduct an employee survey to help us learn more about what we’re doing right and where we need to improve. Thanks to this feedback, over the past year, we have made investments in infrastructure, training, and overall operations. Our motto, “There’s a Better Way,” is fundamental to our vision and paying attention to the details is part of what differentiates us from our competitors. There’s always room for growth, and we’re working together with employees to build the best firm in the industry.

Pros

Reputable company overall. Great people and team members.

Cons

Working on the HR team often leaves employees feeling invisible, undervalued, and frustrated by leadership that is disconnected from the team’s day-to-day work. Management frequently lacks an understanding of employee workloads and challenges, resulting in unrealistic expectations and poor decision-making. Training and onboarding are inadequate, with many employees expected to perform at a high level without the proper guidance or support. Rather than being set up for success, employees are often left to figure things out on their own and are then held accountable for mistakes that could have been avoided with better training.
