St. Louis

[Anonymous]

Any dirt on any firms in St. Louis? I am currently in Pension, 1+ years exp, 2 exams. I don't care if it is in pension, life/health, or P&C. I am actually considering a switch to P&C, just for the hell of it.

The biggest problem with St. Louis is it's in Missouri.

St. Louis (and Missouri) rocks! Well, the city itself isn't that great, but it's a wonderful place to live, especially with the low COL.

A couple firms that come to mind are Towers Perrin and GenAmerica. State Farm has some actuaries here too, though not as many as in Bloomington. But this is coming from a student with 0 years experience, so there's probably better places than those that I know of.

Missourah is a nice state and St Louis, a nice city. Plus you'll be just a hop, skip and a jump from Branson! Hee Haw!

Use the SOA electronic directory. Put in St. Louis or MO and see what compamies come up

I've heard that the St. Louis Tillinghast office is a real sweatshop...and GenAmerica has been getting rid of actuaries (after being bought by the Met many functions are being moved to NY/NJ)

Any info on TP? They appear to have job openings in St. Louis.

Anonymous, can you tell me anymore about the St. Louis Tillinghast being a sweatshop? It's one of the places I'm thinking of interning at next summer, and I'd of course prefer not to work in any Calcutta-like situations...

Is Tillinghast a sweatshop, or is it just a consulting firm?

Although I have no direct knowledge of the office, I would bet the answer to that question depends on what you are looking for and your past experience.

My fiancee was recently accepted to the Washington University School of Medicine, and I am just starting to look for jobs in St. Louis. I have five years of experience in life product development and another two years in corporate actuarial. I also have some experience in accident and health valuation. Does anyone know of any potential openings in the STL metro area? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I found opportunities in pension, health and casualty in our database, but not life. That doesn't mean they don't exist, of course. Fill in a form (http://www.dwsimpson.com/cform.html) if you'd like someone to take a closer look and do some legwork.

I know someone at RGA, I can tell them to keep an eye out for a resume from one "Anonymous". :smile:

St. Louis seems preety tight these days due to the Genam. layoffs. What's your timing?

[Kitara]

I would agree that St Louis TP is a sweatshop, having worked there as an intern a few years ago.

Of course, I was bitter because I wasn't offered a position there (out of college) and their justification was "You didn't pass two exams." Not that I wanted the position, but it would have been nice to have the option.

A St Louis life/health pre-ASA opportunity just came in Friday. Group L&H, responsibilities will include analyzing pricing variables, providing pricing services and ensuring compliance with insurance regulations. Position 10506 (http://www.dwsimpson.com/cform.html?CA10506), if you're still looking.
