AEGON Employer Reviews

I worked for Office Concierge who found the position at AEGON. I truly loved working here. I was able to put my many skills into practice and keep the reception desk running effectivley all day. My Office Manager was a lovely waram peron and was very knowlegble in the role that I had undertaken. The staff were all very welcoming and I had a very good – more... relationshiip with the senior executives.
I wouldn't say that there was a hardest part of the job. The most enjoyable part of my job was meeting the different people everyday from the postman to the clients. – less

Thoroughly enjoy working with my colleagues, loads of challenges with good results when required.

Usual 9-5 with some days more hectic than others.
Worked on a team basis which meant you helped each ohter and picked up knowledge on products you may not have dealt with previously.
Co-workers really friendly and accomodating and v good management team.
Hardest days when part-time staff were off so sometimes under more pressure to get work done.
Most – more... enjoyable part was on Fridays with dress down and relaxed atmosphere. – less

Very much enjoyed meeting people of all walks and careers, from high end to low. Fun and friendly, advancing quite fast.

Sales oriented

Customer Service

Great enviroment

co workers were friendly

I was a CSR in new business w/Transamerica and even though I was fired for attendance issues which were personal I still say AEGON was great. They have good compensation and benefits with healthy raises. Their culture and values are positive and management is good. They promote many programs for a healthy work/life balance.

Compliancew review of business processes (accounting routines) to ensure all controls were in place. Ensure each quarter/year end the proper reporting certifications were completed and published. Worked with managers to eliminate any financial weaknesses and put proper controls in place.

Great management team that worked hard to ensure all Compliance – more... issues were settled for success of the business. – less

Long hours, little managment support, no corporate culture, not very well organized

Good company, nice area, well equipped building. Gym. Cafeteria. Good benefits.

This company is under the umbrella of Transamerica life and protection. It's a call center that takes inbound calls for upset customers. It partners with fortune 500 credit companies that offer accidental death and dismemberment policies. The challenging part of this job was working with customers that claimed they had no idea of purchasing the policy – more... until it was billed to their credit card. The positive side was when the customer would agree to continue coverage once it was explained and they understood what they had and would purchase additional coverages. – less

Aegon overall has been a good place to work. I took advantage of the tuition reimbursement program and got my Bachelors degree from Mt Mercy University however it has not helped me to advance or get any additional opportunities with in the company.
The health benefits are changing in 2013 to a HSA only. These seem to be fine if you are healthy but the – more... up front cost will be higher and the axiety of "what if" will be hanging over me.
Also in the last 4-5 years the work/life balance at Aegon has really gone down hill. The amount of overtime mandated/requested is getting out of control and now that I have a one year old son at home I just can't give them the amount of overtime they are looking for. – less

- start with coffee, next make a list what to do, responding to e-mails, and start designing and programming.
- I am managing my time
- The people are very friendly

I worked in an inbound call center where I answered incoming calls from customers about products and services and policies. The one thing I learned in working in call center is that you have to show patience.

typical day at work:
calling to clients
setting day schedule of meetings
meetings with clients

Too few employees to do the job timely and effectively. Absolutely no work / life balance. Expectations were VERY high, if not impossible. Shipped jobs offshore rather than keeping employees in the US. Bottom line, lots of work with little job security. Pass this company up unless you have absolutely no social life!

Dynamic workload ~ added tremendous value to my career and professional career

Great compensation benefits - with annual bounus and annual raises

Little if any balance on work/life. Expectations were HIGH with no additional compensation.

Management was not good about fostering the growth of employees. Few opportunities to grow within the company.

It was a great enviroment....the people were great that I was working with.They were very helpful...

Als klantcontact specialist zag je dag er bijna altijd hetzelfde uit. Het enige wat anders was waren de gesprekken die ik voerde met mijn klanten. Natuurlijk leer je veel, ik wist hiervoor niks over pensioenen en nu kan ik de meeste dingen wel uitleggen hierover. Ik had leuke collega's, waardoor je natuurlijk met veel meer plezier naar je werk gaat – more... en we leerde ook gespreks techniecken van elkaar. – less

Ik heb met veel plezier bij Aegon gewerkt. Ik heb goed met stress om leren gaan. Met mijn collega's kon ik goed overweg.
Het moeilijkste vond ik het hoge tempo van de vele wetwijzigingen.
