Easy job, but low pay and limited growth opportunities

Underwriter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Easy job to do if you’re halfway smart and actually try.

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies. Raise your concerns with this or anything else and management basically blackballs you for any opportunity for growth. You can do twice as much work as some of your co-workers and still get the same measly 3% annual raise. You’re better off coasting through the job rather than giving 100% effort. The harder you work, the more responsibilities they give you without any monetary compensation.
