AIG reviews

Deceiving management (over promise and under delivers), book of business is used as a plus which it is, however it's basically only leads since you are discouraged to add to that book of business - external rollovers is what will generate an income. Training is HORRIBLE, everything is learned through a negative experience at the expense of the client. You inherit a book of business, however since this company has such a high FA turnover you end up inheriting a book of problems - very difficult to do business with unhappy people. You are not compensated on retention or servicing, so you are on your own to generate rollovers. The company's vision is very flawed - they should have a base salary to justify driving around, putting out fires, paying for minimal expenses like printing/faxing, and spending time taking care of existing clients and provide a tangible service.

No raises for the past 2 years. Ridiculous performance evaluation process with a forced "performance curve" whereby good performers end up with bad ratings to meet the "curve" and get stripped of bonuses. Poor systems and IT support in general. "Boys club" at the management level making it impossible to get promoted, very policital. Generally, virtually non-existent promotions, even at lower levels, despite consistently high performance ratings. Very limited opportunities for training. Grueling hours in some departments (such as financial reporting). Office space downsizing touted as "workspace optimization" resulting in people being placed in shoebox size cubicles, even at director level. Useless HR unable to take action.
