Conveniently located in Grand Central.
Kontras
It's hard for insurance companies, even the largest and most reputable brokerages like Marsh and Aon, to find and retain talent. It's simply not exciting. And employees at Risk Strategies generally seem uninterested and disengaged. There's friction between acquired groups and new management, especially in the NY office, making it more difficult for new systems and policies to be incorporated. Employees in IT are for the most part capable, helpful, and responsive. It's sad that the company seems to view technology as an expense to be minimized. HR is complacent. They don't understand what employees do. Like blank stares when people share updates from the business. It's almost as if leadership doesn't want the company culture to evolve. If you're determined to make it in the insurance industry, either as a broker or in an admin support function, and want to make decent money, have career options, and be part of a modern workforce, then go to Lemonade, Jetty, pretty much any brokerage other than Risk Strategies.
