Pros

Overall, this is a good company to work for. They are profitable, stable and not afraid to innovate. The mutual nature of the company also makes for a better environment than a public company where decisions are often made in the best interests of the shareholders. FM Global has a good training program in place and there are many opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

The pay could be better but the total compensation package is very good if you are looking to stay for a long term. Management in certain offices does not seem to recognize that experience is very difficult to replace. Some office have a unsettling amount of turn over and many of those who leave end up at other insurance companies. Depending on the department in which you work, the work life balance can be poor.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
