Pros

The manager doesn't support your career development at all. He just wants you to work and work and stay in his team forever. He will also try really hard to stop you from studying and developing yourself. The more you do, the more work you have, the fewer opportunities you have because you have no time to really develop yourself.

Cons

Experience looks good on the resume. That's it.

Pros

No Fortune 500 company can be all good or all bad. There are some very dedicated employees who are generous to go out of their way to help new grads. That being said, they are the exception. If you work at Aon, I encourage networking across multiple departments to seek out managers that can help guide your career. The value working at Aon has nothing to do with insurance. You will gain more work experience and learn more about managing people in 1 year at Aon than most people learn in 5 years working anywhere else. Overall, Aon Reed Stenhouse underpays, offers zero professional development and is a very challenging work environment. To be fair, however, every department is completely different and 100% depends on your manager - so, ask to meet your manager before accepting a position!

Cons

Never work for the Aon Global Client Network. The team will demand that you compromise your professional integrity and worse than offering no career advancement - they will actively limit your opportunities to grow professionally. In the past 5 years there have been 6 people hired and have quit the Account Coordinator position in this department. They also underpay and legally broke my contract.

Pros

None to mention, other than good exposure to large, complex clients/accounts which forces you to learn via a sink or swim company attitude

Cons

Top heavy Old "boys/girls club" No development, investment or training for new hires Poor communication, misguided direction Management lie and falsify information to trick employees into staying and keep their confidence low Lacks professionalism Min to no raises, unless you're a conformist (i.e. brown noser) or fight nail and tooth
