Cons
QBE purchased General Casualty Insurance Company in 2007. A toxic work environment made even more so by CEO Pat Regan in December 2018 when he announced a fresh cost-cutting drive which will reduce expenses by $130 million USD by 2021. A third of the cost cuts will come out QBE North American business. The two largest expenses for any company are real estate and people. More work is being off shored. The property and casualty business grown by General Casualty is being sold or eliminated now so QBE North America can position itself as a top speciality insurer. Teams (people) are being eliminated. Yes the benefits are great. Yes the pay is good. You will not find better co-workers anywhere. But none of that matters if you are constantly wondering when the decision to eliminate not just you, but your whole team. This makes for an extremely stressful work environment. I can not recommend QBE as an employer.
