Pros

One of the primary reasons to work at Aon is its pivotal brand name within the Insurance industry. It's certainly a great resume builder. It's a great place to gain experience, as a number of opportunities exist to learn from industry veterans with 20-30+ years of experience.

Cons

Insurance is still a primarily male dominated good old boys club. Secondly, each office has its own culture and environment. Two people with the same title in Boston, MA and San Francisco, CA for example, can have varying job titles, responsibilities, and roles. Also, job growth and advancement is more dependent on personality, and who you work for, more then what you know and technical abilities.
