Pros
My experience as an RMDP has been an excellent way to begin my career. I've really enjoyed the opportunity to work with my peers and focus so much on training prior to entering the field. The day to day life is really about providing excellent customer service to our agents/brokers and policyholders through phone or e-mail consultations, and supporting underwriters through phone surveys. Some of the pros that I looked for when deciding on employment are: - Excellent mentoring and training opportunities - Focus on continuous improvement for employee development - Work/life balance - Challenging work environment - You get as much out of it as you put in, and if you ask for me you will get it - Benefits - the benefits seriously are amazing when comparing between here and other offers received - Career opportunities - there are so many opportunities to advance either within risk control or to explore other departments. You certainly won't be bored with your career! - Job security - working in insurance provides excellent job security, particularly when compared to more volatile industries such as oil and gas. Insurance will always be around What I love most about this career is that it is rarely stagnant. You will be visiting different customer sites every day, learning about new risks, and most importantly helping people live safer and more secure lives.
Kontras
The only con about this program is moving. While they certainly don't force you to take a position somewhere, there might not be a position open in the right location at the right time for what you want in your life. Not knowing where you're going to live in the next several months can be a little scary, but depending on your perspective might also be a bit exciting too!
