Good Company - werkgeversreview Underwriter bij IAT Insurance Group

I've had a genuinely positive experience at IAT Insurance. What stands out most is the balance between professionalism and approachability. Leadership sets clear expectations but also trusts employees to own their work and make decisions. It's an environment where your expertise is valued, and you aren't micromanaged. The people are a major strength of the organization. Across departments, I've found colleagues to be collaborative, knowledgeable, and willing to help without making it feel transactional. There's a strong sense that everyone is working toward the same goals rather than competing internally. IAT also does a good job of recognizing that careers aren't one-size-fits-all. Whether you're looking to deepen your technical expertise or take on broader responsibilities, there are opportunities to grow if you're willing to put in the effort. I've seen employees build long-term careers here because the company invests in its people and promotes from within when possible. Another positive is that the company embraces change thoughtfully. New initiatives and process improvements aren't implemented just for the sake of change—they're usually tied to a clear business objective and employee feedback is often considered along the way.

As with any growing organization, priorities can shift and some processes are still evolving. Occasionally that can create ambiguity, but leadership is generally transparent and receptive to feedback.

*AMAZING benefits, my manager always accepts my PTO as long as I will be covered while I am away and I've gotten to travel many times since joining *WFM Thursday and Fridays has been a nice perk as well

*Starting out as a trainee/associate underwriter, you will be on an hourly basis which means it's even more important to spend the entire hour eating lunch. Most of my team ends up leaving before 4:15 each day (since they take a shorter lunch), but as a newer employee on the hourly schedule, I must stay until 5 pm and try to fill that one hour of time up even if I am already done with my lunch
