\”Sullivan joins Integro after 13 years with Marsh\”
How do the clients know that the same errant practices and ethics recently proven characteristic of Marsh are not also being transferred to Integro? Because they are called Integro?
Pardon me while I rename myself HONESTO. There, now that that\’s done, I have this bridge to offer you…
I work for a broker (not Marsh or Integro) and I am getting tired of comments like yours. They are sounding like a broken record. If you are competing against Marsh for business, I hope you have a better story for your shop other than \”We are not like Marsh!\” There were several good people at Marsh that got caught up in the mess of a few. I suggest you move on or you are going to get run over.
Oh, let\’s all meekly follow a loud mouth order from the brokerage house man! But aren\’t they better than us? Sorry, buddy, you guys are not getting off so easy this time. It\’s MICROSCOPE TIME! And its long overdue. Too bad Spitzer picked off that scab, eh?
Why trumpet a 13 year background at a scandal house? Is this a sign there hasn\’t been a real separation from mother Marsh and all that former \”prestige\”– that would be just the problem.
Enron, Worldcom and other scandal company innocent employees have handled their career moves differently. If you made a career mistake, overcome it. Don\’t be pretending it\’s some badge of honor or accomplishment.
As for these tiresome repeat Integro PR releases of their latest \”raid\” on Marsh–maybe Integro has some sort of rivalry with Marsh. You think? Lockton does things so much more discretely.
No, it\’s more the brokerage house mentality at Marsh as well as all the others caught with their arm in the cookie jar.
What hypocrisy!–positioning themselves as representing the clients instead of the company–supposedly unlike \”agents\”–and then conspiring with the companies to flat out cheat the client. All sanctimonious, poseurs, with smoke and mirrors. Buyers should also be aware that the underwriters too are leery of the quality of \”truth\” coming from brokers.
Just a bunch of IBM sales clone producers with loud mouths (although not too bright), Machiavellian \”managers\” in bloated cut-throat unneeded hierarchies, and overworked and undertrained back office people–some heroic if tragic–all aggressively posing as somehow better (oh, and in so many aspects!) than other people.
Their accounts relentlessly stalked by other brokers, lost through mergers and buyouts, driven by self-absorbed RFQ\’s and low dollar bid processes and demands for imaginary services, supposedly provided by experts who look at the client\’s file for the first time in the car on the way to their offices. Many probably deserve this world they have created for themselves.
Of course, everyone gets the insurance broker they deserve so there will always be a market for scoundrels at the scandal houses.
If the person moving to Integro is honest and ethical, especially and I mean especially under pressure, TERRIFIC. May she prosper accordingly! I am not, however, too interested in shabby baggage fobbed off as prestige, quality and accomplishment, even if Integro likes to gig Marsho.
As for that weird relationship between Marsh and Integro–don\’t foals breed true to the mare anyway? Caveat emptor.
