Excellent Learning Curve
I am currently working as an Underwriter at the Hollard Insurance Company. My role is to provide Underwriting support to Account Executives with regards to 1. New Business 2. Renewals 3. Quotations 4. Reinsurance 5. Broker Relationship Management 6.Policy Administration I enjoy risk analysis and assessment and managing relationships with brokers. I have learnt that the role of an Underwriter in the present time has shifted from being a pure technical role, it now encompasses customer/broker relationship management , business development and account management. The most challenging aspect of my job as a young underwriter is to make a pitch for experienced and senior insurance brokers whilst trying to overcome the age discrimination factor.
Pros: Great opportunities to develop. My current employer runs formal training programmes
Cons: Being limited to a specific class of insurance

What does "enter your review title" mean?
Very loud and undisciplined - from management (not all of course) down to tea ladies, cleaners and canteen staff. If you like that type of environment, then it's heaven working here.
Pros: Attractive campus set on a mountainside.
Cons: Loud, loud, loud company. No noise sensitivity here at all.

Insightful and challenging.
Its just another day at the office,mostly data capturing from field apps but sales are a necessity.A lot to learn about compliance and clients behavior all the laws that governs the system but very exciting and insightful.Friendly colleagues, challenging working conditions though,because we deal with lots of customer related issues and people will always react differently to same issues.I enjoy reaching my targets it makes me happy to reap the benefits of hard work and dedication and it grows my confidence and makes me try even harder the following month.Competition also gives us a good time because naturally human to wanna win.
Pros: An opportunity to make money
Cons: Impossible targets
