Cons
-Despite great overall culture some high performers are challenging personalities to work with -Soft market is challenging clients to buy less reinsurance and puts pressure on revenue and margin -Man times there needs to be better team work between Brokers and Analytics (actuaries and cat modelers) on client teams (but in some instances it is working very well) -Still behind in Europe, but gaining momentum
